My deepest condolences to the the Wright Family. Desmond & I worked together at the VA Clinic Los Angeles for 30 + years. He was an exemplary employee, always willing to lend a helping hand. He & Merckle became forever family friends. I will miss his laughter and joyful spirit. May God bless the entire Wright Family. Love you all! RIP my dear friend & colleague.

When I was initially hired by VA in Los Angeles, Desmond was my coworker, and he became my closest friend. Miss You Man.
