Nigel Wright Obituary

Wright, Nigel G. DELMAR Nigel G. Wright, 83, died suddenly at his home in Delmar on May 24, 2014. He enjoyed an active and involved life until the end.

A graduate of Cornell University and Harvard Law School, Nigel worked for the State of New York for many years and retired from the New York State Tax Appeals Tribunal, where he was a judge. A strong advocate for taxpayer rights, Nigel was committed to human rights and justice in other areas as well, and generously supported many charities. He is survived by close friends, Susan Cloninger, Cynthia Abele, and Lois Griffin. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the charity of your choice, in the spirit of Nigel's support for causes in which he believed.

Sue and I talk about Nigel, I know she misses him in her life. I look at the urn Sue has of Nigel's ashes, every time I go over and think of a trip we all took to Kripalu a few years before his death. In peace and Love, Pat
