He was born in Mid dletown, Ohio, but spent most of his early life in Powell County, Kentucky with his par ents (Robert Henry Wright and Minnie Lou Wright (Spencer)) and 12 siblings.

He enjoyed “tinkering around” in the garage, projects, and most im portantly-spending time with the ones he loved.

The family is sad

dened by his passing but as he would say, “that’s just the way it goes.”

Arrangements have been entrusted to Flowers-Leedy Funeral Home. Family and friends are welcome to sign the online guest book and leave a mem ory at www.Flower sLeedyAllen.com
