Doc was a parishioner of St. Bernadette Catholic Church. In 1986, he opened a business "Doc Wright Paint & Wallpaper". When the business moved into their new building on West Park Avenue, the name was changed to “Wright Floorcovering”. It grew into a well-known successful business; the company made many loyal customers and friends. He was a member of the Southeastern Louisiana Home Builders Association. He served on the Bayou Cane Fire Protection District Board for many years and was recently recognized with an honorary Fire Chief Commissioner plaque. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and friend. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Special thanks to MD Anderson and staff, Dr. T.
