David Wright

Mr. David Wright, age 71 years peacefully passed away with family by his side on Sunday, February 9, 2014 in the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.David was born in Vulcan, Alberta on December 27, 1942. His professional career as a drafting engineer provided him the opportunity to travel the world, creating great friendships that he maintained his entire life.David's passions were flying, fishing and his GMC Motorhome which was affectionately called the "Barbie Mobile". Winters were never spent in a Northern climate, the only good place for ice was surrounding his beer glass, and the search for his perfect palm tree was always on his agenda. David's love for fishing was only surpassed by his love for flying. He found the magic combination of both by flying co-pilot to Secret Lake #6 and enjoyed the endless amounts of bragging rights.David is survived by his daughter Paulette (Dave) of Thunder Bay, his son Donald (Jodie), his grandson Ryder and his granddaughter Zenna of Alberta, his brother Gordon Jr (Lian) of British Columbia, his sister Susan (Gary) of Alberta and his sister Bonnie (William) of Thunder Bay.David was predeceased by his father Gordon (1988) and mother Helen (2010).A Memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 in the Chapel of Harbourview Funeral Centre, 499 North Cumberland Street presided by Rev.
