WRIGHT, Gary B.

Age 75, of Arcanum, passed away at home on Saturday, February 9, 2019.

Gary went to Riverside military school in Georgia and Florida from 1958-1961. He went on to graduate from Arcanum High School in 1962. He then married his wife, Nancy on March 16, 1963. Gary retired his career from GM Inland after 43 years of service to them.
