Peter R. Wright

Peter Raymond Wright, age 54, of Milford, beloved husband of Marcie Lowy Wright for 23 years, died unexpectedly on Thursday, November 12, 2020. 

Pete was born in Suffern, NY on October 17, 1966 to the late Raymond and Yoshiko Etsumoto Wright.  He worked as a Stagehand for IATSE Local 1 for 34 years. 

Survivors, in addition to his wife Marcie, include his beloved sons, Kenny and Matthew Wright, both of Milford; brothers, Raymond Wright, Donald Wright (Peggy), and Glenn Wright; and many nieces and nephews.  Pete was predeceased by his siblings MaryAnn Blais, Irene Marmora, and John Wright. 

Pete was a devoted husband, father and uncle, as well as a friend to many. An Eagle Scout himself, he was very involved in his sons’ Scout experiences, and he was incredibly proud of their many accomplishments. Pete had an infectious smile, and he loved to hang out with family and friends, have a beer, cook some ribs in his smoker, and swap stories and have some laughs.
