Richard Clay Wright

Clay began as my teacher, developed into my mentor and continued as my friend. He was a man of integrity and honesty and I respected and admired him so much for the manner in which he conducted his life...but I loved him for being one of the best friends I have ever had. Jeannie, Thank you for taking such good care of my buddy!

Clay was a friend of our family for over 23 years. In that time, he was always smiling, always laughing, and always took time to help those in need. He was a wonderful friend and mentor to many people and will be greatly missed.

The first time I met Clay, he asked me to "audition" for an instructor position. That was 10 years ago this month and I am still teaching.
Who will ever forget those great Halloween parties he and Jeannie loved to throw? Jeannie, my thoughts and prayers are with you right now. I know that the two of you made the very most of your time together and we all envied your most special relationship. Susan Manion (Hampton, VA)

Gonna miss just puttin' up the feet and gabbing with Clay....a good man has moved on to the next stop, and I wish his spirit peace and tranquility.

Clay was a light in times of darkness.

We will always remember Clay with his smiles and laughter. We will miss him. Our hearts go out to Jeannie and his family.. Our candle of rememberance will always be lit for you.
