Doug "Buddy" Wright was a big part of my youth while growing up. He and his wife JO were dear friends of my parents, Margaret and Andy Conti.
His children Doug, Timmy, Joyce, Lynn, and Stevie (hope I didn't miss one) were our schoolmates and playmates on Surrey Lane. Many a day, Richie, Roddy, Bobby, Peggy, and Tommy Conti, would be seen with a Wright. Fun times! Great Memories!

Words can not say how deeply touched
I am at your father's passing. He
brought a lot of life to all of us who had the pleasure of knowing Doug. Gordon Brown and I spent many
hours laughing and enjoying life and I know when Doug gets to heaven he will meet up with Gordie and they
will renew old friendships. Doug was all you could wish for in an all
around good person. I'm sorry for your loss.
