A public viewing was held Friday for Lawrence Otis Graham.

News 12's longtime political analyst died suddenly last Friday at age 59.

Loved ones gathered at Lee's Funeral Home on Fisher Avenue in White Plains.

Graham was a Harvard Law School graduate and Horace Mann board member. He also served as the chairman of the Westchester County Police Board.

Graham was an author, an activist, an attorney and congressional candidate who was known throughout the Hudson Valley. But anyone who knew him knew that the titles he was most proud of was husband and father.
