Mr. Wright contributed to many us young boys, who needed an example of how to live our lives. He required respect from each of his scouts. I still feel his contribution in my life after 50 years. Well Done, Mr. Wright.

Mr. Wright was a dear man and he will be greatly missed. He would always talk with the children each year about the Christmas Tree at our Church then it would be decorated and I looked forward to his talk myself. Blessings to the family and you will be in my prayers.

To the entire Wright family, please accept Elena's & my deepest heartfelt thoughts, prayers and condolences on the loss of Mayor Wright. As Rudy Giuliani is known as America's mayor, Mayor Wright will to me be known as Topeka's Mayor.
Thank the Wright family to sharing this man with the rest of Topeka, we are oh so much better, because of him!!!
May he Rest In Peace.

To the Wright Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences, with the loss of Chuck. We had met on many occasions. He was a friendly and a good man. Please remember that in his passing - There is one more United States Marine guarding the streets of heaven.

Sorry to hear of the passing of your father. He truly played a valuable roll for the city following the tornado. On a personal note, I last visited with him at the viewing following my father's death-a thoughtful gesture on his part.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Chuck. He was a fine man, and former neighbor. I was around during the tornado and watched the work he did. He made a lot of positive difference for Topeka. Rest in Peace my friend.
