I would like to take the time to remember Dr. Wright, who was an inspiration to me in my career and life. He was such an intellectual, who was very professional, and always kind and generous with his knowledge and time. He helped inspire me to pursue my goals and become the best that I could be in my field and in life. My condolences to his loving partner Bill and all of Dr. Wright's family. It was an absolute privilege to have known Dr. Wright even for a little bit, as he had such a profound influence on my life and career. Thank you so much.

Just told someone today about the story of my daddy, John Franklin, getting his false teeth from the Univ. of Tennessee and what a difficult time we were having getting him an appointment. I called Robert and within 1 hour, John had his appointment and had his new teeth within a few weeks. Everyone who knew Robert loved him. There is truly a celebration with family and friends going on in heaven today.

I only knew Dr. Wright for a short time but that short time I find him to be a nice person and truly enjoyed working with the under grad student showing them new technology in dentistry with a smile on his face.

I am totally shocked to hear of Roberts passing. what a wonderful man and a loving and caring man. I took care of his Mom during her illness and got to know Robert and his Mom who I referred to as My Southern Belle Flo. For many months. In that time I am honored to say what a wonderful friendship I developed with Robert and his Mom. My heart goes out to Bill and all the family and friends of theirs. Robert will sadly be missed. Ox

So very sorry the bright light of such a brilliant man, snuffed out way too early. Dr. Wright had a very positive influence on so many young and promising young students. Robert will be sorely missed by so many. So happy I had the pleasure of knowing Robert. I have many fond memories of our times together during Wright/Newman family gatherings. My heart goes out to his family and Bill, his long time life-partner.
