I was one of his first Student -Aids at SUPSHIP, NNSY. He was an inspiration to me and my counter part, Cecelia (CeeCee) and his Secretary, Valorie Wesson. He was my friend and a blessing as a supervisor. To the family, stay blessed and keep the memories in your heart. In my prayers.
God Bless, Sonya Ward-Marsh (NeeSee)

Mr. Wright was one of three Supervisors I had when I first came to work for SUPSHIP Portsmouth - many years ago. He was always respectful and caring. Many of our conversations were full of laughter, but we never forgot that work came first! Mr. Wright was serious about his ships! I enjoyed listening to him as he talked of his family / profound accomplishments of his children and the Shriners (Past Potentate). I won't forget him! Valorie Wesson, NNSY

Sending sincere sympathy. May God continue to bless and keep your family in these times of sorrow.
