My sincere condolences. I served under Capt. Wright aboard the USS Milwaukee in 1976. No finer gentleman.

Dear Libby, Ben, Christian, Lizzie, Rebecca, Willy, Ken and family: My thoughts are with you, at this time of losing your husband and father. As my stepfather in my teen years and young adulthood, Dick shaped my life in wonderful, positive ways, for which I am deeply grateful.

I knew Dick Wright through Libby and her family in Flat Rock, NC. He was always kind and honorable. Thank you Dick Wright for your service to our country.
