Family and friends of 78-year-old John Purcell gathered at Grace Episcopal Church in Queens to pay their final respects.

Purcell died Friday night, 10 days after police say he and three others were attacked by David Williams.

Purcell's wife, Joan, was also stabbed.

Family members are outraged by the attack, which took a man they describe to as a caring father and grandfather.

"They're old people. What did they ever to do to anybody? They were bringing brownies to the doctors office. Are you kidding me? Walking out of their apartment that they've been in for 45 years. Its just wrong."

"I'm speechless about his death and let me put it this way... he was just someone you want to have in your life. Just amazing, thats the best way to put it. What every child would want in a father. All out amazing person. He meant everything to me."

Police say Williams also stabbed a 41-year-old woman and punched another man in the face.

He was originally charged with attempted murder, assault and weapons possession, but the district attorney says the charges are now upgraded to second-degree murder.

If convicted, Williams faces up to 25 years to life in prison.
