God Bless Brother Wright you are in heaven exactly where you belong. Please send my guest to show because I know you are right bye his side.

Bro. Wright was a GREAT man, with whom I communicated often, and had the privilege
to call him "friend." R.I.P. my friend.

Brother Wright was an amazing man. I looked forward to every lesson when he would tutor me for calculus. Though I didn't know Brother Wright for too long, he made an impact on me and helped me expand my knowledge in mathematics and in life. My deepest condolences to family and friends of Brother Wright and all of the other lives he has touched.

Dear Uncle William,
All of your nieces and nephews as well as grand nieces and nephews are saddened by your passing. However, we know you are now with the Lord and he is most fortunately to have such a caring, wise and "yes saintly" brother by his side.
May you rest in peace. You are gone but will never be forgotten.
Love, Georgianna & Andy Kerfut, George Kerfut,

Sorry to hear of the passing of Brother Wright. He was not only my physics teacher, but a mentor and a friend to me and my family. I was only a chop-chop in one of his classes, but he was a humble and patient educator to many students.

My heartfelt condolences go out to
all who knew and loved Brother Wright. He was a wonderful man, teacher, and Christian Brother. I will always remember him and keep his memory close to my heart. Thank you Brother Wright for all your help, guidance and patience. May you be at peace.

My family and I knew Brother Wright very well and we all thought so highly of him and enjoyed his great company. I saw him regularly from about age 8 to 15. My uncle, Bro. (Joseph) Mark Clark was one of his good friends; I grew up thinking I had a very large group of fabulous and fun "uncles" with the Irish Christian Brothers. "May the Road Rise to meet Him..." God Bless.

One of my favorite teachers at BKHS. May he rest in peace.
