I just found out about Ralphie's passing and am praying that his soul is in Heaven.
I say Ralphie because he was my 2nd cousin and I knew him by that name as a young boy.
I am the son of Ann Callozzo his 1st cousin who was the daughter of Clemenza who was the sister of his mom Lucy. 
I fondly recall him visiting my mom who had MS and he made her laugh and he introduced me to the term "greaseball" lol. He was very fond of my mom. 
In addition Ralphie was a riot at the big family picnics we had and i picnic was even at a firehouse somewhere.
In reading about Ralphie I see he had a real devoted cause to MDA and no doubt that was due to the impact my mom's MS had on him.
I offer my prayers and condolences to his family and may God rest his soul.

Victor was a very talented market maker and tough competitor. 
More importantly he was a generous and kind man I admired. 
Condolences continue to go to Joann and their 2 daughters who he loved dearly.   MJ & Peter

Such good times with Ralphy as a kid..and Victor as an adult..Victor or Ralphy Aunt Grace loved u 2 the moon and back...xxoi

I was an analyst at Goldman Sachs in 1979-1981, and spent some time on the trading floor.  Victor was a smart, direct, funny and kind mentor.  I have always remembered him fondly.  Was sad to read today that he has passed.  Condolences to his family and friends. 

My deepest sympathy and affection  to Joann, Jennifer, and Samantha on the loss of their husband and father. I am a Georgetown friend and one of Jennifer's former professors, who is the grateful recipient of Victor's generosity and faith. He was so modest that until I read this notice I was unaware of Victor's remarkable professional achievements and his philanthropical activities. He was a wonderful person. 

Victor was a memorable human being with a big heart and even bigger personality. He meant a great deal to me and had an impact on my life that I surely hope he was aware of; then again, I’m sure he impacted many peoples lives. I remember having dinner with you the night my son was born and you thought I was crazy to leave my wife to have dinner with you and others from SBH - but my wife thought I would be crazier not to have dinner with you and SBH because she knew what you meant to me. You will be missed Victor but you will not be forgotten by me or my family. May you rest in peace and may the Yankees be on TV!  

The Crooks family extends its most profound condolences.  I am so proud and happy to have introduced Victor and JoAnne back on the late 70’s at Oscar’s.  Love at first  sight for Victor.  I remember seeing him at Yankee Stadium several years ago and all we did was laugh.  Rest easy my friend as that corner of Oscar’s in the Sky is adding yet another important member.  To JoAnne , our love and prayers for Victor , you and your family

Dear Joann, Sam and Jenifer,  

Our deepest sympathy to you!  

Victor was a great mentor to many and a better friend to most.  We will miss his vision, energy and enthusiasm.  He was so proud of his role as founder and developer of the Georgetown Wall Street Alliance.  We will miss his generous leadership.  

I will always be grateful for his many gifts of kindness. 

Cherish your memories!  -John and Marybeth Wooters

Much Love

The world will be less interesting without Victor Wright in it. Funny. Generous. Caring. Intelligent. Savvy. Empathetic, Tenacious. Loyal. Grounded. Renowned in his chosen profession, Victor valued his well-earned success while never forgetting his roots.  With Victor, what you saw was what you got.  He and Joann, my dear friends for decades, were a wonderful couple.  An evening shared with them was always filled with warm reminiscence and lots of laughter.  +++ To Joann, Samantha and Jennifer. Love to you all from PA. I will be thinking of you and offering prayers in the days ahead.  +++ 


So very to hear of Victor’s passing. I always remember he was so kind to my mom. Our condolences to Joanne and his daughters. 

Victor was a powerful and talented securities trader who was well respected by his friends and peers. Through our mutual friend John Tognino we spent a number of dinners together on Arthur Ave.  Mary Jane & I send our condolences to Joanne and their two daughters.  Peter & MJ DaPuzzo

My deepest condolences to the Wright family.  Victor will be missed beyond description.  I had the honor to be hired by Victor as the MDA CFO 5 years ago, and he always kept me on my toes.  My last memory of Victor was just recently at MDA's last Board meeting, Victor came up to me at the end of the meeting, wished me a happy holiday to me and my family, and then added that he was proud and thankful of the work I do for MDA.  It was a rare and sincere moment as I was not used to Victor's complementary side!   He was a rare Lion of a man.
