Phillip A. Wright

I met Phillip in basic training at F ort Dix, NJ and went on to Fort Gordan, GA and then to Vietnam with him. We were young and dumb and Philly was the brother I never had as well as my best friend for many great wonderful fun filled years. How we ever drifted apart I have no clue as there was never a harsh word between us, but today quite by chance I came across Philly's obitituary and I am filled with regret and overwhelmed with sadness.
Kim I know we only met briefly on one of...

Bernie,

I'm so sorry to hear about your son.

I really enjoyed knowing you during the years we worked together at CLNB.

To the Wright Family

I'm saddened to hear of Phil's passing. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Phil was a great man and we are proud to have known him. Whenever we went into Crossroads Phil was there with a smile and a handshake or a hug. He would always say, “Hey hunny, are you still with that bum?” To my husband he would say “Hey young man.”

Every time I wore my A-Rod t-shirt Phil would inform me that A-Rod was not "a real Yankee.” Based upon this season’s baseball I’m sure he’d ask my husband, “So, where are your Red Sox now?”

Whenever we were at crossroads...

To the Wright Family,

I was a classmate of Phil's and although we had not seen each other in quite some time I have fond memories of our times together, especially playing basketball at the Hall or at school. My thoughts and sympathies go out to all his family and friends at his untimely passing.

Bernice,

Our deepest Sympathy.

Phil was a bright spot in the day with his humor and concern. Phil really cared about the people he knew and it showed, he will be sorely missed. I wish the best to his family.

To the Wright Family:

We are sorry to hear of Phil's sudden passing. We have very fond memories of growing up in Cayuga with the Wright brothers in the house on the corner near the elementary school. We send out heartfelt thoughts across the miles. With great sympathy,

This is a very sad moment, but what do we say to someone who has loss a love one, to Kim and family, please accept our condolonces...you're in our thoughts and prayers. The meeting was brief, but you all will never be forgotten...God is able! A. Wickham (Syracuse, NY)
