The R.M. Wright Company

We regret to inform everyone that our wonderful friend and former employee, Dennis Rheaume, passed away after a long illness on Friday evening April 23, 2010 at University Hospital near his home in Ravenna, Ohio

Dennis began his association with our organization in 1981 and served as our Sales Manager until his retirement in 2007. Over those 26 years Dennis did an outstanding job of representing and contributing to the growth of our business. Prior to working with our sales group he worked directly for Watts Fluid Air as a branch manager for over 20 years and brought a great deal of fluid power experience and knowledge to our company. Dennis also served proudly and honorably in the U.S. Navy for six years during the Korean War period.

For those of us who worked with Dennis over the years we had great affection for him as a wonderful person and we will always cherish his memory. May God Bless and keep him.

We wish to extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to his widow Betty and his family.

Private family services will be held in Ohio this week. Burial will be at Great Lakes Military Cemetary near Holly, Michigan with a Memorial Service to be held sometime in June.
