Mr. Wright, nicknamed ``Skip,'' acquired the name from his father, who enlisted in the Army as a captain after his graduation from dental school. Mr. Wright was an excellent athlete throughout his life. He showcased his athletic prowess as an outstanding football player and a black- diamond skier. Mr. Wright attended school at the Citadel prior to being drafted into the Vietnam war, where he received a Bronze Star for his service to his beloved country. Upon his return home, Mr. Wright finished school at East Carolina State with a degree in business and finance, which propelled him into his impressive career as a mortgage banker in both Atlanta and St. Simons until his retirement. He was a dedicated member of both Christ Church Frederica and his cherished golf club, Sea Island.
