Roger Wright, of Plano, Texas, died April 22 at Faith Presbyterian Hospice in Dallas, Texas., finally succumbing to cancer after a valiant fight. As a Christian who loved the Lord with heart and soul, his eternal home is secure. Roger was born to Harold and Bessie Wright in Waurika, OK on April 6, 1947. In 1952, the family moved to Dallas, and Roger had the good fortune to grow up in Oak Cliff. He enjoyed his time in the Boy Scouts, and as a member of Hampton Place Baptist Church. He was a 1965 graduate of Sunset High School, and proudly served in the United States Army Reserve during the Vietnam era. He was an excellent golfer and enjoyed fishing and hunting. Although working as a Landman for various Oil companies in West Texas for a brief portion of his working career, his true vocation, and avocation, was as a barber. He cut the hair of thousands of men and boys while standing at his fixed location at the chair closet to the door of the Wright Barber Shop in Plano, Texas for decades. He truly enjoyed the camaraderie and interaction with his many loyal customers and his fellow barbers, which included his Uncle Bill Wright and several Wright cousins. Roger is survived by his two children, H.L. Wright and Blaise Wright; grandchildren, Averie Wright, Trevor Wright and David Klein; sisters, Karen Baker (Jerome) Retta Feemster (Rocky); brother, Kip Wright (Stacye) and numerous nieces and nephews.
