Andy Wright, 1946-2014

On Wednesday, a funeral will be held in Plymouth and a celebration of the life of the longtime Northville businessman will follow at Genetti's Restaurant in Northville.

Submitted by the family of Andy Wright:

Andy Wright was given the gift of life by his parents, Dorothy and Donald, on October 19, 1946. Last Friday night on April 11, 2014 he gracefully had to give that gift back. He did so peacefully surrounded by his precious wife Ronnie, two daughters Katie and Stephanie and in thought by his two loving sisters Carol and Sue. 

The kindness and love that he showed to family, friends and strangers is the success story of his life. Andy was a 40+ year resident of Northville and  local businessman who was always proud to call Northville his home. We will reflect, remember, honor and celebrate the joy that he brought to all of our lives.
