Wright came to Lafayette in 1957 after graduating from law school and joined former Congressman Jimmy Domengeaux to practice law. He was also passionate about horse racing and was a long-time member of the Louisiana Racing Commission.
“It was with great regret that we learned of the death of Bob Wright last night in New Orleans. We have lost a dear friend, mentor and partner,” said Jim Roy, a partner with the company.
