Joanne and Family, We were so saddened to hear about Rich, we wil miss his smile. I am glad Annah and I were able to stop in and see him last week. Thank you both for all of your support and love over the last 15 years as neighbors. We have been truly blessed to have you here as the kids have grown up. There will always be fond memories for us.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Wright family, especially Mrs. Wright and Casey on the passing of Mr. Wright. There honestly was not a week of my early teenage years that did not include time spent with Mr. Wright and his family. I will always remember fondly our trips to Cleveland and Cedar Point as a whole family, so many great memories that still burn bright in all our minds.

Mr. Wright gave so much of his time to us kids at Hyde Park Little League. I remember him umpiring so many all star tournament games. NO coach questioned Mr. Wright's calls, he was so loud and such a force! I vividly remember his safe call, "NO HE'S THERE!'

God bless you Mr. Wright, Joey is in heaven waiting to welcome you!

Wright Family & Friends.
I am so sorry for your loss. Richard was a great man. I worked at Tops and he was always right there if I (or anyone) needed him for an issue. When he came into the store he was always very friendly. Just 2 days ago I was thinking about him and wondering how he was doing. I am saddened by his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Linda (Kent) Keith

Mrs Wright, Casey and the entire Wright family, please accept my condolences on the loss of Big Rich. He was a man that was bigger than life. I have lots of memories of his funny antics at the ball games and everything he did for his midgets at Hyde Park Little League. He was a great role model to all of us kids.

God bless you all during this time and may God give you the peace and comfort that only he can while you prepare to celebrate his life.
