Dear Wright Family,
A copy of the Church News with news of Bob's passing reached us here in Ghana. It brought back floods of memories of working at Bob's side. I appreciate the kindness with which he tutored me over the years.
With gratitude and love for this good man,
Lee Curtis

I have been out of town and was so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was a great friend and an outstanding public servant to Utah and the church. His contributions as outlined in the news were but a small part of all the marvelous things that he has done. May the Lord bless you in the coming days and weeks ahead.

Dear Sister Wright I was one of your missionaries in the DC Mission. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I cherish the time I was able to spend under you and your husband. Thank you for all of the service you and your family have given. Love Sister Dye (Tonya Dye Yamauchi)

Dear Janet and Family, we want to let you know you are in our thoughts during this time of deep sorrow. Please accept our sincere condolences over the loss of this gentle, giant of a man.

John and I have admired and respected Bob for decades. He and Janet were wonderful neighbors in Bountiful. We have cherished memories of delightful times together. Our paths did not cross as frequently after the Wrights moved to Salt Lake City, but we followed the progress of his professional and political career. He succeeded in everything he did. He made many contributions to Utah of which his family can be proud including his dedication as a father. We send our condolences.

President and Sister Wright's guidance in the Washington DC North Mission provided me with many priceless lessons. He will be remembered as a valiant man of God and a true disciple of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wright family.

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. He was so kind and fun. I remember growing up with your family - it was always an adventure. Thinking of you all at this time... Julie Glade Giles
