Dear Nancy, Tony and Mr Rasmusson’s entire family, Al and I send our heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your dear dad. I wish we could come and support you , by attending the service, but we are traveling and wont be back until next week. You are in our thoughts and prayers! Deepest condolences to the entire family!
I have known David since 1967. I recall Wright always kept his cool through the phases we went through whether long hair, really awful guitar and drums in his garage or backing out of his driveway and "driving like a maniac". Wright was soft spoken and a man of few words but you had better listen up when he did speak because it was firm and important.
