George A. Wright, 83, of Cass City, died Friday, December 12, 2003 in Saginaw. He was born May 5, 1920 in Paris, France to William and Helen (Delsaert) Wright. He married Nellie Mae Glatz June 14, 1941 in Fraser. She died October 3, 1999.
George was a member of Redemption Lutheran Church in Detroit. He worked for the city of Detroit Fire Department for 35 years, rising through the ranks until he retired as Battalion Chief.
