Condolence: I am shocked and saddened by the news of Dr.Wright's passing. He was a great mentor to me at UNC and I'm only a pre-dental student. I met him when he gave a wonderful presentation about what the field of Prosthodontics entails to a pre-dental honor society club and I was so intrigued and impressed by his work that I went to talk to him afterwards and has since worked on a research project with him and attended the ACP session in Florida to present it. He was a wonderful mentor who cared for students and saw potential in everybody and encouraged us to work hard despite how difficult we perceived the idea of becoming a dentist to be ("oh I hated Organic Chemistry too" he said "but you won't see it again in dental school so just power through!"). I look up to him as a model in the field of dentistry. If I will be a quarter of how kind, generous, and professional he was, I would be very proud indeed.

Condolence: As a fellow professional, I will miss Robert's expertise and wisdom. He was a compassionate, caring doctor....which is increasingly hard to find. Robert was a good man, and there are very few of us left ! My condolence to the immediate and extended family as well as all of his friends.

Condolence: Dear Bill: You may not remember me, but Robert was always very helpful to me as I hope I was to him. He was particularly gracious during my recent (Spring 2015) visit to the University; in fact he sponsored my visit and was most generous with his time. During his time at HSDM we had several projects we intended to do with various students. I will miss him.

Condolence: Bill and Cindy we are so sorry to learn of Robert's passing. You are both in our prayers. Together we will all remember our dear friend Robert as the true friend he was. With Love, Cheryl and Michel

Condolence: I am truly saddened to hear of Robert's passing. We were co residents and fellows at MSK. We spent 3 years together charting new paths for our Head and Neck patients and he will be missed. My condolences to Bill and Robert's family. Rest peacefully, Robert.

Condolence: My heartfelt condolences to Bill and extended family. Having been Dr. Wright's clinical assistant at HSDM, I have nothing but great fond memories. Dr. Wright was a pleasure to work with. He had only enriched my life to have known him. I will miss Dr. Wright as he surely will be missed by so many others. Duane Koedyker

Condolence: Bill, My heartfelt condolence on the loss of Rob. I got to know Rob and you through the Academy of Prosthodontics and was glad to be a colleague and friend. He was so generous with his time towards prosthodontics and education. Not only is his passing a huge loss to us, but a large loss to the community of prosthodontics and maxillofacial prosthetics. I was very happy to see him at the meetings and always enjoyed chatting with him and you about good New Orleans food! He was a consummate gentleman and I will miss him very much. My sympathies at this difficult time. With much warmth and respect, Tom Salinas

Condolence: Dear Bill, I am truly sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Rob. He was such a wonderful gentleman. I have many fond memories from the years we were together at HSDM. He was so kind helping me getting settled-in when I first arrived. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Elsbeth Kalenderian

Condolence: I can't begin to tell you how shocked I was when I heard the news. Rob was a wonderful human being and will be missed by all who knew him. I have such cherished memories of my sister Beth and I having dinner with him and Bill at the AP installation banquet in Bern; it was a wonderful night of conversation and dancing, and singing Sinatra tunes with him this year in Palm Springs. The world is not as bright with out him.

Condolence: Dear Bill, Rob was a dear friend and touched many lives. He was always thinking of ways to include students in a collaborative project and perhaps inspire them to further learning experiences. Many will follow his example of being inclusive and generous. Peace be with you. Keith

Condolence: Rob was a caring man. He was a true gentleman and cared for those around him. He will be sorely missed. Truly a life ended too short....

Condolence: Bill, Rob was such a genuine and kind person. He was exceptional at caring for others and shared his love for you and his family to many. Something as simple as helping me negotiate my walk from the Jazz at Lincoln Center back to my hotel was so sweet. He laughed in his gentle manner to remind me that he too learned to negotiate the streets of NYC through time and perseverance! I wish you peace in knowing many are sharing prayers. All the best, Lily

Condolence: Bill and Donna, So very sad to hear the news about Rob. We both have some fond memories of him and what a kind person he was. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with you. Pete and Harriet

Condolence: Bill, I was devistated by the news of Roberts' death. I can understand how you must feel, as I do, after the loss of Linda a few months ago. We always treasured the friendship that developed with you both. Please know you both are in my prayers and I look forward to seeing you this summer... There will be lots of "Firsts" but with Gods help you'll survive! One day at a time... Love and prayers, Joe

Condolence: Dear Bill, Words cannot express how saddened we are to hear of your loss. Dr. Wright will always be remembered as a great mentor and friend. I pray that the many happy memories of Dr. Wright’s life with you will, with time, overcome the sadness and pain that have accompanied you. Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss. May his soul rest in pease.

Condolence: We all knew that Rob was a special gentleman. He was blessed with great intelligence and the skills of leadership and humor. Bill, I cannot express my sadness for your loss. I pray that each day will bring a little ray of happiness. Your lives together inspired all of us.

Condolence: Dear Bill, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Rob's family in this difficult moment. Rob will be remembered as an outstanding fellow and a caring friend. With respect,

Condolence: Bill, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Robert was an amazing man and we were blessed to be part of your lives. Lots of Love. Chris and Tony
