I would like to offer my sincere condolence to the family of Sgt. Bill Wright. I had the pleasure of working with him at Boys Town. He always kept us laughing, provided words of wisdom and was most importantly a good friend.
May our God continue to strengthen you all and may Rest In Peace Sarge.

William will be missed by everyone that knew him.He was like a brother to me because we talked about everything(politics, weather, family members and the love he had for God).This will be a major void in my life but William want me to carry on. Thank you God for William and what he meant to me and our family.

<9In Loving Memory of my brother-in-law. Praying for strength and comfort for Pat and All-in-the-Family during this difficult time. Pain pierced my heart deeply when hearing that Tiger had transition into our Heavenly Father's arms, but, I 'Count It All Joy' for having him in my life over the years. There are people that come in and out of our lives that leave their mark. Then there is 'Tiger Bill' that entered into our family and planted a seed, that grew into a tall tree, that will keep bearing generations of 'Tiger Strong' spirits for years to come. Tiger will be remembered as a Godly man, a Soldier proudly served his county, that 'Tiger' smile, kind-heartedness, freely giving of himself, keeping everyone connected (family & friends), making you feel that family love, and much more. He was like a brother, my daughter's Guardian Angel Uncle (father figure), because of his unconditional support over the years. >‹ Rest in Our Heavenly Father's Arms My Dear Brother
<9Much Love, Your Carolina Family (Nathan and Darlene)

Mr. Wright was one of the kindest people I've ever met. He would visit with everyone who walked into Mount View. I always felt safe with him watching out for me. I was honored to attend his wedding to Patricia and to know that he kept the invitation to my graduate school party in his desk drawer. He loved coming into my class and singing me happy birthday! I remember popping a balloon in class once and he came running in to make sure everything was okay! He set an incredible example for all those around him.

He will be missed deeply. Prayers to Pat and his family and friends.

Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. Mr. Wright was one of a kind and will always be remembered. I'll never forget having him pop into my class to dance and sing me happy birthday every year. He was incredibly supportive to all of the teachers at Mount View, and the kids loved him. Sending so many thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

My family and I are deeply saddened by the loss of cousin William. I followed in his Army footsteps. Both William and I served in the Army, we were recruiters and both of us achieved the rank of First Sergeant. He took great interest in my career, followed it closely and he offered great advice. William will be missed! We will be praying for our family!
