He was born in Pittsfield, MA, December 27, 1948, and grew up in Westfield, MA. The son of the late Eleanor (Goodniss) Wright and stepson of the late Arthur Wright, David graduated from Westfield State College and enjoyed a lifelong career in journalism.

A lover of education, David taught journalism at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and Westfield State College, and community journalism in New Bedford, among other endeavors.
He was passionate about life, with a special love of fresh-water fishing, sports, cooking, movies, reading, and sharing memories with his many loving friends and family.
Survivors include his wife, Anne Humphrey of Bennington, and children, Jason Humphrey (Kim) of Westford, MA, Caitlin Moniz (Ryan) of Dartmouth, MA, Brendan Radigan (Kim) of Portland, ME, Evan Radigan (Tracy) of Brooklyn, NY, and Alex Humphrey (Gabe) of New Bedford, MA; four grandchildren; and the family of his sister-in-law, Kathy Nelson (Larry) of Baltimore, MD.
