Dr.
Stephen Wright died peacefully
He
retired to this tranquil region from
A true
gentleman with a dry wit, Dr. Wright will long be remembered for his
extra-ordinary talent of making people of all ages feel good about
themselves. He has inspired thousands of
suffering souls to pull themselves together and to lead stable and
productive
lives.
The
cancerous lower lobe of Dr. Wright’s right lung was removed over twenty

smoking, which had begun at age nine; however, not in time to prevent
progressively debilitating lunch disease, culminating in severe
emphysema and

The
family is eternally grateful for all the loving care provided by
Richard
Moreland, MD, Cheryl Anderson, MD, and the staffs of Stonehenge

On the
home front, Steve was an avid reader, World War I airplane buff, super
fine
sports cars owner, clever cartoonist, passionate lover of anything with
wings,
creator of zany poetry, and poignant odes.
He was a closet drummer, sensitive and astute photographer, a
member of
the Riverbend Gun club, and the National Gourd Society (!). He could wield a kitchen paring knife with
the best of them, adored “I, Claudius”, and would spoil guest rotten,
and could
recite limericks, poetry, and hymns from childhood word for word.
A friend’s
e-mail noted this past Sunday, “He was a wonderful man with the most
gorgeous

free spirit-early on unabashedly wild-later on wisely tamed. But a truly great one, never to be forgotten.
