Timothy C. Wright, 80, passed away on November 8, 2021 in Mishawaka, Indiana. Tim was born in Meridian, Indiana to Harvey and Lillian (Dolan) Wright on October 17, 1941. He spent several years of his childhood in East Brady, Pennsylvania with his grandparents Everett and Hazel Wright. It was there that he developed his love of trains. After graduating Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, he attended the University of Notre Dame (Class of '63) where he majored in English and was a founding editor of "The Leprechaun," a campus humor magazine. He went on to graduate with a JD from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1969.

During his many years in the Michiana area, Tim served as an attorney at Clark Equipment Company, Uniroyal, and National Standard. He founded the boutique law firm Wright, Dixon and Associates, and for several years was the owner of The Copy Shop on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. Most recently, Tim was a beloved professor of Business and Sports Law at Holy Cross College in Notre Dame, Indiana.

A longtime resident of Niles Michigan, Tim was a co-founder of the Michiana Literacy Council, (1983 - 1994), and had a love of gardening, science fiction, and spending time with his family.

Tim was married to Vickie Case Wright, who preceded him in death in 2012. He is survived by his loving partner, Peg Dowling; sister, Fay Mauro (Robert); daughter, Virginia Caudill (Michael); and sons, Tim Wright (Diane), Paul Wright, and Mike Thomas. He is also survived by his granddaughters, Josette and Agatha Wright.

A generous and loving father, grandfather, partner and colleague, Tim will be greatly missed.
