Obituary
Carl "Bud" Moses Wright, age 94, died on September 13, 2021 at Dallas Retirement Village Health Center in Dallas, Oregon. Carl was born in Redmond, OR, on May 30, 1927 to Julius Wright and Nora (Turner) Wright.
Carl was preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Charlotte Jean (Lambert) Wright; his brothers Virgil Wright, Gilbert Wright, Kenneth Wright; and sisters Viola (Wright) Arends, Gladys (Wright) Middaugh. He is survived by his current wife, Ruth (Lusby) Wright, whom he married in 2004, and his three children, Renee (Wright) Freeman Soasey of Vancouver, WA; Amy (Wright) Pickard Davis of Tulsa, OK; and Randall Carl Wright of Dallas, OR. He is also survived by 14 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was a long-time resident of Dallas, OR, and has been laid to rest at Dallas Cemetery.
Carl was the youngest of six children. He was a long-time resident of Dallas, OR, and a graduate of Dallas High School. Following high school, he joined the United States Navy for four years of service. Upon returning home, he attended Oregon State University.
He married the girl next door (Charlotte Jean Lambert) in 1951 and found employment as a Service Attendant at Joe Card's Airpark. Carl enjoyed working on airplanes in the service and automobiles, so this was a natural fit. (Interestingly enough, Joe's Airpark sold most of its land to Dallas Retirement Village Health Center where Carl spent his final couple of years!) He continued his affinity for airplanes with a brief career move to Salem with United Airlines as a ticket agent. He then moved backed to Dallas, where he chose to raise his family, and took a job as a loan officer at Polk County Federal Savings and Loan Association where he eventually became the branch manager.
Carl enjoyed an active lifestyle. He played tennis at the Dallas high school courts from his high school days all the way up into his 80s! He took family bike rides through the Dallas City Park and went for walks with his loved ones on a daily basis as well. He enjoyed family games of softball and croquet, and he even turned the dining room table into a ping pong table for winter entertainment (much to his wife's chagrin). He enjoyed boating and water skiing and was accomplished on the slalom ski.
Carl liked inventing and restoring things. One of his inventions was a lawnmower engine attached to the back of a Radio Flyer wagon (affectionately called "Mogun"). He took great pride in restoring a Morris Minor automobile he found in a farmer's field as a surprise gift for his oldest daughter who was fond of Morris Minors.
For his middle child, he sacrificially taught her how to drive a 3-speed transmission on her first car, a 1957 Nash Metropolitan, during rainy November evenings after long days at work. His patience was severely tested as each time she shifted from first to second gear; he had to get under the hood and unlock the gears!
Carl's youngest child and only son was born a bit later in life, and his thrill in taking his 9-month-old son to the Christian Church's father/son banquet all by himself was apparent to all.
He was a quick-witted man and he loved puns and pranks. For one of his famous pranks, he would set up his oogah horn in the hedge next to the front porch on Halloween and give the trick-or-treaters quite a surprise.
Carl remained friends with his high school buddies throughout life. They threw New Year's Eve parties every year, though they eventually opted for afternoon affairs to accommodate earlier bedtimes.
Carl was a church member his whole life. His devotion would wake him early in the morning to read his bible and pray for his family and those in need. His home was one that welcomed guests of all kinds. He often hosted bible studies and prayer meetings for both high school kids and adults. He helped start a Christian coffee shop in an abandoned service station for kids to meet in.
Carl Wright's life, full of energy and excitement, will be greatly missed.
