We are so sad to hear of Mr. Wright´s passing. Reflecting on Mr. Keith Wright´s impact on my life is a deeply personal and heartfelt journey. Yes, even as a 62-year-old, I call him Mr. or Sir. That´s how much I respected him. And no, it wasn´t only because he brought hundreds of dollars of See´s candy to his dental appointments- but because he was a rare and kind human soul who I always looked forward to being around. I remember consulting him at his house before a large commercial purchase. He made me smoke a cigar and have a glass of wine before we discussed business. I don´t smoke! He said if the cigar makes you a little sick and you still want to do the deal-then go do it. It was great advice. My wife and I would often ride bikes on the bike path by the river and always knew we were stopping at Keith and Sally´s house because we could smell the cigar as he sat outside watching sports on his patio TV. He was truly larger than life. His laugh could be heard for blocks!
Keith was a remarkable soul who brightened our lives with his kindness, humor, and unwavering generosity. Keith possessed an extraordinary ability to make each person feel seen and valued, leaving a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
From the laughter and history lessons shared during our discussions, he was a beacon of joy and strength. Mr. Wright´s legacy is one of positivity, resilience, and compassion. As I remember the precious moments spent together, I will try to honor his memory by living with the same warmth and generosity he and Sally shared with the world. Susan and I are grateful for the time we had with them. Although they may no longer walk beside us, "that" Keith and Sally spirit for living will forever reside in our hearts and help guide us through the rest of our lives.
You are deeply missed but never forgotten.
