Douglas Stefan Wright

It is with great sadness that I learnt of your passing a few days ago (I have left Utah and didn't keep in touch as I should have....One more regret I'll have to live with until we meet again) I am sendin you a “wink” tomorrow to make it up, it's a little poem about the way I felt your teachings inspired me, since this is my first time writing poetry it was difficult, especially in English...so...be forgiving...Although in the place above I know you can't die of laughter!!!
I know just...

What a blessing to have had you in my life even a short time. you were a huge influence and opened my eyes to a whole new world. I'll love you forever!

Doug, I didn't know that you had passed on. You were the most influential professor I had in college. You opened up a new world to me. Thank you...

Thank you Doug. Thank you. I think of all the lessons you taught me still. I am honored by having known you.

Doug has it been a year since I had the joy of sitting in your class. Of all the professors I have had you truly made learning fun. I miss your wit and humility, but I miss the joy you brought to every class.

Shifted my perception and a major influence on who I am today. Thanks for the lessons and memories Doug..You were truly a riot and one of the most compassionate and intelligent professors I've ever had the pleasure of being around!..Cheers to your life!

There was a group of singers, musicians, visual artists, scientists, future accountants, film-makers and business leaders of all sorts. Needless to say this was a very fun and creative group to be in! We were all friends. There were various couples within this group, two of whom were sisters who were going out with best friends Doug Wright and Paul Babin.

I do not know how I managed to lose contact with Doug and the rest of the group after I left school. Remembering all of the...

Thanks for allowing me to realize that the professors get as much out of class as the students. It's changed my view of college forever.

We shared an English class in high school... his wit and observations were on the mark even then. A humble and kind soul, peace is forever with you.
