Curtis O’dell Wright

  Curtis, 73, of Yadkinville, NC, originally of Seffner, FL, passed away peacefully, Sunday morning June 29th, 2014 at the Joan & Howard Woltz Hospice Home in Dobson, NC.
  He was born Monday April 21st 1941 in Mayo, Lafayette County, Florida the son of Harley Lee and Adell (Frier) Wright. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Bill, Calvin, Bob, Jim, and sister Juno, as well as his daughter Suzanne Elizabeth.

  Curtis was a retired Heavy Equipment Machinist who loved hunting, fishing, training dogs, music, and cooking. He was also a proud member of the Brandon Eagles 1958 high school football championship team in the Tampa Bay Conference.

We are unsure if Curtis penned this poem solely, but we know it was one of his cherished possessions.

‘Wait Till The Moon is Full’
Soft in the night, in the bright moonlight
The rabbits run still all through the night

And never bump, except in play, to each other
in the full of the moon, and never in the day

And the Cat and the Cow and the fish and bull
dance an animal dance when the Moon is Full

With the owl and the squirrel and the skunk and gull
When the moon is high; When the Moon is Full

And a little bird cries from over the hill
Listen, listen “Whip poor will, Whip poor Will”

My little raccoon be still, be still and wait
Till The Moon is Full
