Ralph, aged 90, of Tilton, passed away peacefully on Dec. 30, 2025. He was born on Dec. 8, 1935, in Nashua, to Harry Wright and Nellie (Patinsky) Wright. He graduated from Nashua High School in 1953, and participated actively in both the band and camera club during his youth. These early experiences in photography led to a lifelong career as a professional commercial/industrial, wedding and portrait photographer, where he preserved cherished moments for numerous couples. He also shared his expertise by teaching at Nashua Vocational Technical College and mentoring Nashua Telegraph employees in business photography. He served as president of the New Hampshire Professional Photographers Association from 1970 to 1971.

His interests extended beyond photography to skydiving, where he co-founded the Pepperell Sky Diving Club and constructed and flew his own experimental aircraft. Ralph was dedicated to community service as a member of the Kiwanis Club, and he valued time spent boating, fishing, and hunting with friends and family.

On Nov. 13, 1968, Ralph married Carol B. Jean, establishing their home in Nashua, where they raised their family together.

He was predeceased by his brothers, Harry, David and Robert Wright, and his son-in-law Alan Chesnulevich. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Carol Wright; his son Jason Wright and Jason’s wife Judy Tilton; and his daughter Susan Chesnulevich. He also leaves behind his grandson, Peter Chesnulevich, and Peter’s wife Meaghan; his granddaughter, Lauren Scurini and her husband Vinnie; as well as many nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
