Wow Sport...what can I say brother? It has been way too many years since we last seen or spoke to each other. So sorry for your family's loss. We were attached at the hip for many years. I sure do miss playing baseball, basket, football and hockey with you. I hope your parents and Sam find this comforting, knowing I haven't forgotten you! Prayers go to your wife and son even after all these years. Miss you...From Elaine Green who lived in the red house across the street from you on River St. We shall meet again someday my friend. Gone too soon.

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In Life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you Home. You left us peaceful memories; Your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But, as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

My deepest Sympathy goes out the Wright family and friends. I knew James since high school and he was one of those people who did not have an enemy in the world. You are loved and will be missed

I worked with James many years ago and was deeply saddened to learn of his passing. My sympathy goes out to his family. Although, it was many years ago, thinking of James always brought a smile. He was full of joy and love. I know his family will miss him greatly but his spirit is so strong he will be with them always.

To the Wright family, weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning. Sport is resting in peace because his work is done here on earth. He leaves you Susan and Antoine, as his wife and son, a legacy of love and peace.
Sport your family loves you and you have shown all of us what it means to live with dignity in the midst of life and all that it offers. Your laughter and gift of love for family will live on in the hearts of all who knew you.

Sport this is your sister Sam, I love you so much. I am going to miss the brother I grew up with on Marcy road. We were always protecting each other from getting in trouble with mama and dadda by I doing your homework, letting you in the house after curfew and sneaking the women who stood by you in the house (Susan).You lived a good life, Antonie your son is and will be the man you taught him to be and we will all forever love you, as you say your " know it all" lil sis Samantha!

Susan and Antoine,
I am sorry for the loss of your husband and father. Sport will forever live in my heart with all the memories I have of him.
I embraced him like the brother I never had and really like the nickname he tagged me with.
All my love to you.
