So grieved to hear of the sudden passing of Rev. Wright. He was like a brother to me. We shared many stories together at breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. We met there almost every Saturday for several years. Rev. Wright,to me was a genuine person, had a big heart and would help you any way he could. Clint loved his church family at MT. Zion , and wouldn't miss an opportunity to play his bass along with his wife Mrs.Pam on the piano. My condolences go out to Pam, his children, and the remainder of his family. Jimmie/Deanna Baker. his wife, children and other family members.
