The switch to in-house data processing also took place under the guidance and support of Wright in the early 1980s. In the 1990′s Wright was a staunch champion of HR1151, and in August, 2001 he retired from the credit union. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Barbara, his sons, Curtis and Douglas, and his grandchildren Preston and Cassidy.
