Harvey Emmett Wright

I was pleasantly surprised to see this pop-up in my email this morning. I think of Harvey often. While recently caught in a difficult situation with a challenging subcontractor on the project, I remembered Harvey. You knew when Harvey was upset by the color of his face, head down and marching to address the issue. It was handled promptly. I approached this the same way. I knew it had to be handled immediately. Even though I felt like yelling at the top of my lungs, I kept myself composed...

Harvey. My next door neighbor. I only knew him for just a few years and was so sorry I didn't know him longer. He was so sweet, so funny, so considerate. I had no idea of all his accomplishments until after he died, all these huge building projects he was on. He built me a little garden gate, that's about all I knew about his building prowess.

I really miss you,...

Dear Wright Family:
My condolences to each of you in the passing of your Patriarch, Harvey Wright. I always appreciated working with him and cherished his fair and honest approach on his projects. I had the privilege of working with him on the LDS Conference Center as we installed the electrical work. He was a great mentor and will be missed.

Harvey's understanding of the task he supervised on that project included the construction of the giant pyramid footings for the future high rise structure. What a monumental task. Father greatly enjoyed his almost daily contact and discussions with Harvey. In addition, Harvey brought...

I had the opportunity to work with Harvey at the LDS Conference Center and many other projects. Harvey believed in hard work. He must have seen something in me, to advance me on my journey in the construction industry. The main thing that he passed on was the passion for building. I have many fond memories of Harvey. Walking with the 1st Presidency through the little Theatre at the Conference Center, Where we were when finding out about 9/11, and the Olympics to name a few. I know Harvey...

John and Karma, Dave ad I were sorry to read of your father's passing. Our love and prayers. Kris Jackson
