Celebrating the completed life of William Joel Wright
With sad hearts we learned of the death of colleague Joel Wright recently. Alice asked me to post this obituary that their son Stuart helped to write. Joel and Alice have resided in Kansas City for a number of years, near Stuart and Shanna and their two teenaged children, where they have enjoyed being part of their family’s active lives. A celebration of Joel’s life will be held August 21 in Kansas City. With the family, we celebrate the life of service and leadership that Joel lived as part of our OE community and the world, and that has continued through the award winning work of Team Tech. Joel and Alice…what a team they’ve been for 58 years! Alice may be reached at alicegw@me.com<mailto:alicegw@me.com>. I will also collect memories, poetry and tributes to share if you wish to post on this list. With sympathy and care as Joel journeys on, Lynda Cock
https://teamtechinc.com/2021/07/12/joel/ <https://teamtechinc.com/2021/07/12/joel/> There is a beautiful version of his life story on the TeamTech website. Joel played a role in keeping the Order together long enough for it to decide to move, somewhat intentionally, into diaspora mode. It sounds like he lived a fine life of service in Kansas. We journey on, Paul

Dear colleagues, I remember Joel well. I worked with him I think it was in doing Town Meetings in 1976. Joel had a kind and generous spirit. Peace and deepest sympathy be to Alice and Stuart and those who loved and respected Joel. Grace and peace, Isobel Bishop Isobel Bishop Mob. 0412 129 425
