"Papa" as known to Crystal and myself will always be with us in our thoughts and memories. His service to our country will always be remembered as well. I treasure the discussions we had about farming and family. Although we have lost a loved one, heaven has gained another saint. My prayers are with the family.

One of the most wonderful gifts I ever recieved was the love and acceptance of this family. My sister and I were accepted as if we were born into the Wright family and we love each and every one. "Papa" was a loving grandpa and great grandpa and although our hearts are broken, we take comfort in knowing he is always with us in our hearts. We send all of our love and prayers to the family, and may God give you peace and comfort.
Love Always,
Crystal, Tim, Savannah, Shaine,and LilyGrace Altizer
