He was born in Scranton, July 18, 1928, son of the late Vernon H. and Marion Lightbody Wright. Dave was a graduate of Benton Twp. High School, Fleetville and was a United States Air Force Veteran. He worked in highway construction in New York State for a number of years and then became a self-employed carpenter in the Remsen and Utica area.

Also mourning his loss are his best, most generous and supportive friends, Dick and Joanne Lockwood and family, Barneveld, NY.
He was preceded in death by Marge Lockwood, and his brother and sister in law, Donald and Evelyn Gow Wright.
A memorial service will be held later at the convenience of the family. Cremains will be interred in the Hickory Grove Cemetery, Waverly.
