Herbert D. Wright

The Wright family were the best neighbors, even though Herb sneaked in that left upper cut. We all have great stories. Thanks Herb.

I was privileged to work with Mr. Wright at the Reynoldsburg Junior High School. I always found him to be a caring, thoughtful and dedicated man who lived by his principles.

Herb was a great friend to Bob and Joe Cabe through college and through life. Your hospitality at various times was always above and beyond. He will be missed and his memory cherished.

God bless you,

Rest in Peace, Dr. Wright!

I worked with Herb when he was the principal of Reynoldsburg Junior High School. Herb was a good school administrator, a good principal, a good man with a good, kind heart. He
was an advocate for his kids. I am so sorry for you loss. May your memories be a blessing and a source of solice. Aron Ross

Herb was a great person.
