I am shocked and saddened by the sudden, untimely death of my good friend Nigel Wright. Nigel was one of the kindest, most decent and generous people I have ever known. A person of unimpeachable integrity and honour. A brilliant man who excelled in business, and had a heart for public service. He was a true Canadian patriot. But most importantly, he was man of deep faith. His Christian commitment was not an abstraction. I cannot think of anyone with his level of commercial and financial success who would regularly spend evenings and weekends helping the less fortunate, volunteering in soup kitchens and homeless shelters. He was modest and private, so I suspect no one fully realizes the breadth of his philanthropic and charitable commitments. He will be deeply missed by his many friends around the world. But I have no doubt that he will be welcomed in the house of his Master with the words “well done, good and faithful servant.” Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat e. 🙏
