He was very active in serving Tellico Village by his involvement in the POA activities and the planning of facilities. He was a tennis player and an avid hiker.
Bob loved being a grandfather and did his best to indoctrinate the children into the "Big Orange" culture.
Preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Rose Wright.
Survivors include his wife of 54 years, Linda Wright; daughters Sherry Jarymovych (Roman), Jill Lincoln (Larry) and Stephen Wright (Stacy); grandchildren Brittany, Holly, Sarah, Lindsay and Brian.

Special thanks to my dear friends who gave me strength and helped me get through this difficult and sad time.
