Wright, David "Edwin"
age 75, of New Harbour, Guysborough County, went into
the presence of his Lord on September 6, 2020. He was born in
Guysborough, to Aubrey Carl and Elsie Jane (Sangster) Wright. Edwin
started his employment at a young age, alongside his father, working
at his dad’s mill in New Harbour, where he gained a love for
the smell of freshly cut trees and lumber. He worked with the
construction industry as a young adult driving trucks and a dozer
operator, with various companies across Nova Scotia. He owned and
operated his own business; Wright’s Lumbering, which was a
saw mill and trucking company, employing numerous local people. One of
the memorable trucks he owned and operated was "Sassy", a
name given for its unforgettable engine roar. At the age of 30, Edwin
accepted Jesus as his personal Saviour. He lived out the rest of his
life serving his Lord and Master, being an example in his community
