Harold Roger Wright

Harold was born on May 29, 1933 in Wood County, Ohio to the late Harvey “Dick” and Ivadale (Porter) Wright.

Harold was a 1951 graduate of Jackson Township High School. He served in the US Army during the Korean War where he earned several medals and commendations for his bravery and heroism, including the Purple Heart. He worked as a diesel mechanic for France Stone Company in North Baltimore for 42 years.

Harold was a proud member of Unity Baptist Church in Middletown, OH where attended services regularly. As an avid Christian, Harold was an incredibly kind and generous man with many friends. His passions were spending time with his family, exploring the country in his RV, and working on his 1931 Ford Model A Coupe.

Harold is survived by his wife, Gloria (Sue) Wright; daughter Terri (Tom) Winkeljohn; granddaughter Kristi (Brad) Kinn; grandson, Brian (Stephanie) Waaland; step-grandson Alex (Kristie) Winkeljohn; step-granddaughter Stacey (Jacob) Amstutz; great-grandchildren Brodyn and Gavi Kinn and Sawyer Amstutz; 14 nieces and nephews; stepsons John (Avinne) Kiser and Greg (Gail) Kiser; step-grandchildren Olivia (Craig) Reed, Alex, Logan, Addison, and Grant Kiser; and his beloved dog Molly. Harold was also preceded in death by his brother, Robert (Shirley) Wright; and his sister, Helen (Roy) Murdock.
