I worked with Dave at OSC from '99 to '01. He always amazed me with the depth of his what & how & why knowledge on such a broad variety of topics. Dave was hands-down the best engineer I have known. As comfortable with hand-tools as with a computer, what impressed me most was his energy level. He was always "There" and always "On": for the job, for his family & friends and for his many interests. We kept up with phone calls, but talk of current work matters would rapidly move to motorcycles, or of training to be a pilot, and often of his love & respect for his wife, and his daughter's joie de vivre. Always the loving parent's mix of pride & fear & awe when they were in some far-off land or breezing through a difficult task. And his sense of humor! I can still hear that quiet "Heh heh heh" that meant his inner imp was getting the better of him!! They say the trick is to die young at as old an age as possible. Dave is the youngest grown man I've ever met. He will be missed.

I had the good fortune to interact with Dave on a few occasions during my trips to Bordentown. He always struck me as hard working and extremely dedicated, but at the same time came across as a truly gentle man. The entire Ocean Spray organization mourns his loss, and I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to Kristine, Jaimie, and Jessica. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Mark Pellegrini

To David Wright's Family -
I had the pleasure of working with David while I was at OSC in New Jersey several years ago.
I remember Dave with a wicked sense of humor, keen intelligence and great compassion. He was a person you could count on. If he was responsible for a project, you could rest easy. The man took charge and delivered more than you thought was possible.
Those of us who had the pleasure of working with him, share in your loss. He will be missed but lives on in our hearts. My sincere condolences to each of you.

I had the great pleasure and honor of working with Dave at Ocean Spray for the last 6 years. Dave always had a kind word to say to all and always went out of his way to help in any capacity needed. I will always remember Dave's great sense of humor and quiet confidence. Dave was a brilliant man with keen insights into every topic. I often asked Dave for his insight into issues at work because he was one of the brightest minds in the plant and I trusted and valued his thoughts. I was fortunate to have a friend such as Dave; I will miss him dearly but will always remember his kind way.
God bless you and please accept my deepest condolences

On behalf of the entire Ocean Spray family, the men and women of the Bordentown facility, our corporate sponsors, and from our nearly 900 independent grower owners I want to express what we feel to those who mourn with us today and throughout our entire Beverage Network.
We all knew that Dave and his family had been battling lung cancer for the past several months. But, what struck me the most was that, as throughout the brief time that I knew Dave, he showed a tremendous amount of class and dignity throughout this ordeal.
When I came to the Bordentown facility just over two years ago I had a fairly good idea of what I was getting into. As a matter of fact I distinctly remember that on my very first day I walked throughout the plant for over 2 ½ hours totally unchallenged by ANYONE until this tall lanky guy approached me. He promptly introduced himself and told me he was the plant engineer and then asked if he could do anything for me. Upon introducing myself as the new plant manager he quickly stated: ?? glad you?re here and don?t worry; working together we?ll get this place turned around.? Wow, I thought? what the heck did I get myself into? Just how bad can it be if the plant engineer recognized the need to turn the plant around? That was my very 1st encounter with Dave Wright.
Well it didn?t take long to figure out that the plant had fallen, shall we say, into a state of disrepair over the course of the past few years; and, it also didn?t take very long to figure out how the condition of the plant had made Dave feel. He was absolutely passionate about setting things right. As I got to know him it turned out that when Bob Stambaugh hired Dave the plant had been running fairly well and there had been some very robust plans for the future. But as Bob moved on to bigger and better things and the organization transitioned through several management changes the facility began to deteriorate and that was extremely disappointing to Dave who, as it turned out, became the voice for the vast majority of the employees. But Dave being Dave, he was not about to let it go down without a fight. He was absolutely resolute in his determination to turn the plant back into something we could all be proud of. Just like rebuilding an old car, he was ready, willing and able to rebuild Bordentown.
It became apparent that had it not been for the likes of Dave, and a whole lot of other people in the plant, who really cared and really tried, that the Bordentown plant would have failed. Instead, it kept moving forward ? slowly, but forward none the less. Then as we all began to refocus our collective efforts and energies on the facility, the plant, in fact, did begin to turn around. And as we would face more and more challenges, Dave was one of the few individuals who would drop by my office with that kind of swagger and attitude that said: ?? hey you got a minute I?d like to talk to you about a few things?. We would then sit down and chat about the challenges and direction. He was fast becoming a confident that I could rely on and trust. What?s really neat about the plant?s progress is the fact that because Dave was always by our side offering both encouragement as well as advice, it really is turning into the type of plant that he had intended it to be all along. And it was, and is today, continuing to become a premier packaging facility
But to me what?s most important to remember about this man is that ? to borrow a quote that Edward Kennedy said about his brother Bobby ? ?Dave need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered simply as a good and decent man??
The notice of his passing is replete with testaments to the man, the son, the husband, the father, the friend. He thoroughly enjoyed life to the fullest and truly cherished his greatest treasures? his wife Kristine and his daughters Jaimie and Jessica. On his very last visit to the plant he wanted any and all to know about ?his girls? and how proud he was of his family. How his family had all rallied around an

Kristine, Jamie & Jessie,
Unfortunately, my time with Dave was much too short. When I arrived at the plant, Dave was first to introduce himself, and volunteered his services. Over the next seven months, we would become fast friends, and speak often of his family and interests. Dave was truely a great man, proud of his family, and highly proficient and respected in his occupation. My deepest sympathy to you in this time of loss and sorrow. And Dave, ...you are sincerely missed.

We are so sorry for your loss of one of the most wonderful men in the world. David had class and a sense of reality, that could make things right. His sense of humor was awesome, as was his love of his family. He always bragged about his "girls". Always remember that you all were the love of his life, and he will be waiting for you and watching over you. God bless you, and we will continue to keep you in our prayers as we have for the past year. I will miss my dear friend....David

Dear Kristine, Jaimie, and Jessica,
Marian and I send you our deepest condolences. I was priviledged to work with Dave for over ten years at Ocean Spray. He was a great engineer and he was my friend. Dave was always willing to help me understand the "whys" of project engineering. He loved his work. His love for his family was evident by his concern and pride in his daughters. He was always eager to share his family experiences.
Dave has gone before us to prepare a place for us. It is his way of taking care of those he loves. He continues to live in the hearts of those who knew him.

Carol and I offer our deepest condolences to Kris, Jaimie and Jessie.
I had the great fortune to work with Dave and call him my friend. He always had a smile, even when we were caught up in the stress of the moment. He could bring us back to reality and what was really important.
The most important part of Dave's life was his family, of whom he was justly proud. We all strive to be the husband, father and friend that Dave was.
Dave was one of the most intelligent, yet soft spoken men I have ever met - and there is no better engineer anywhere. I hope St. Peter has some worthwhile projects for him, because now he has the best.
He could talk on any subject, but it was never baloney. If you could teach him something, he would gladly learn. Usually though, it was Dave doing the teaching for anyone smart enough to listen.
It is sad to lose him, but we know he is in a better place now, and free from the suffering.
We will remember him always in our hearts.
