Remembering George, who was a mentor to me, with fondness.

Deepest sympathies, Margaret and family. I just heard of George's passing. I am very sorry that I was unable to attend the memorial service. George was a true Southern gentleman. I served on HR5A with him for many years, and have so many fond memories of that time. I loved hearing his stories of the old days in and around Williamsburg. I think of him often and miss the time we spent together in the Association. Godspeed, George. You will be forever missed.

George and Margaret Wright were friends of my parents, having met in Richmond, VA. When I attended college in Williamsburg, George and Margaret were most hospitable and warm in welcoming me there. Through the years, when I have often walked past Colonial Williamsburg’s Taliaferro-Cole House, where the Wrights lived; I always thought of the Wrights and remembered them for being exceptionally kind and generous persons. My thoughts and prayers are with the Wright family.

To the Wright family, Max and I extend our condolences to you. Mr Wright was very special and we always enjoyed his presence. We will keep your family in our prayers. Max and Mike Taverniti

My mother, Beryl B. White, worked for Mr. Wright at Colonial Williamsburg for many, many years. She and my father thought very highly of him and his family. He and Mrs. Wright were so very kind to attend her graveside service a couple of years ago when she went to be with the Lord.
Much Appreciation for & Sympathy to the Wright family,
