My condolences to the Wright family. Played basketball with Mink in 1966 thur 1968. His love of the game as so many was in practice and regular season. Last time I saw Mink was with Pee-wee when we were inducted into the basketball hall of fame for York High. I will miss him as so many in York. One thing I always knew when playing with Mink, if I got the ball near the basket he would always be there to finish.
Love to all the family and friends. And Mink we will all see you again.
Respectfully,
John Hawck

With deepest sympathy to Midge & the Wright Family. There are no words that can take the grief away, but in your grief find comfort in his life. He was a fun loving person and whenever we would run into him he would greet us with that wonderful smile. We grew up with Minky and shared great memories. He will be missed by all that knew and loved him. R.I.P. Mink

Mink: i will miss my life-long friend and companion for many years. I know everyone will miss seeing "Da Dancing Machine on every dance floor; I know that the basketball legendary stories that the Old-heads still debate at every class reunion will have a new twist to the plot now ; Iknow that when the family gathers to feast for holidays and BBQs in the yard-His famous fruit punch will be missed ; I also know that finally Mike and Smickle can R.I.P. ,bcause he is also.
We weren't ready for him to go but God bless your final journey.

To The Family,
Please accept our condolences. May you endure these days of loss and arrive at a place of peace and understanding. There will come a day when your tears of sorrow will softly flow into tears of remembrance...
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way...
Minky's warm smile, infectious laugh and loving personality will truly be missed but never forgotten.
May God Bless and Keep you all during this time of sorrow, Our prayers are with you.

To the Wright Family –
My deepest heartfelt sympathy during this difficult time. May God wrap His arms around all of you and give you strength and comfort. Even though you have a big family that will be there for each other, you also have a tremendous amount of "extended family and friends" (including me) that love you all, and will be there for you whenever and where ever needed, and that can also share a lot of special memories of Mink. Keeping you all in prayer with love.
