I am pleased, but not surprised, to learn that Phil was a christian; that means I get to see him again one day. He introduced me to Bearkat scanners when I was a young highway patrolman. Phil was always so pleasant to visit with and always willing to share his time or talent or a funny story. I hope there are "42" games in heaven; I would like to see how good he is. My thoughts and prayers to his family.##imported-begin##Buddy Owles##imported-end##

Mr. Wright was the one Teacher I will never forget. I learned a lot about life in general from him while taking his electronics class in Gatesville. What I learned in his class helped me to get the high tech job I had in the military. He was a great teacher and a very good man.##imported-begin##Mike McInis##imported-end##

We were sorry to learn of your loss. We remember the days of Cole Electronics and visited with Phil quite often there. Over the years we had lost touch with you and Phil, but we could never forget you two. Our prayers are with you and the family. God bless you in the days ahead.

Mr.Wright and I worked together many days at Tatum High School. I was a sub and we frequently chatted together. One day we had a conversation about working at funeral homes and I made a statement to the effect that would make me too sad. He looked at me and said" you are a christian aren't you" I said yes and he said "then it shouldn't be sad, you should rejoice in someone going home". After all these years I still remember that. So Mrs. Wright rejoice in his home going and rest in the comfort that you will be with him again!!##imported-begin##Cindy Powdrill##imported-end##
My condolences to the family. Mr. Wright had such a positive influence on my life. The things that he taught me whether it was the curriculum, his past experiences, or work ethic were all invaluable. I take comfort in knowing that I got the chance to tell him these things in person a couple of years ago when he stopped by my office for a visit. I regret not finding the time to play that round of golf we said we would. I owe you so much. You are loved and missed.##imported-begin##Patrick Pither##imported-end##
I was greatly saddened to hear of Daddy Wright's passing. I learned alot about life and work from that man. He was one of the best teachers I ever had. I remember hearing stories of the electronic store, of him driving a truck and running up and down the road to try to stay awake. My parents even bought their 1st color TV from him when they got married. He will always remain in my heart and in my memory he will always have a smile, a toothpick in hand and his pocket protector. God's Speed Daddy Wright~##imported-begin##LeeAnn Parsons##imported-end##
