At Princeton he majored in history and ate at Cap and Gown. His senior-year roommates were Carter, Conner, Murphy, and Rahr. After Princeton he earned degrees from LSU and Cornell, and served honorably as a captain in the Marines.
Wright was married to the love of his life, Jane Rader, for almost 43 years. Together, they raised three sons and loved to travel, entertain, golf, and enjoy good food and wine. Jane died in 2004.
They settled in Bronxville, N.Y., where Wright served on the Reformed Church Consistory and the Bronxville Board of Education. Wright enjoyed a distinguished 25-year career with Chase Bank, where he was an executive vice president.
His commitment to service was evident in time spent on the boards of directors of the New York Botanical Garden, South Street Seaport, Union Theological Seminary, Police Athletic League, and the Counseling Center.
After retiring, Wright divided his time between Bronxville and St. Michaels, Md., where he discovered his love for crabbing, kayaking, and watching sunsets with family, dogs, and dear friends.
In 2005, Wright married Patsy Fleming, and when she died he spent his last years and special times with good friend Nancy Loiaconi.
A man of grace, integrity, and style, Wright is survived by his sons Michael, Steve, and Dave; seven grandchildren; and one great-granddaughter.
