David Wright was a bus driver for almost 50 years, and almost everyone in Lebanon, Tennessee knew him.
Families going back three generations had ridden his bus, and he was beloved in the city -- dubbed a"Lebanon legend," according to Bart Barker of Wilson County Schools.When Wright died on August 13 at the age of 76, his passing shook the community. Just a few weeks earlier, Wilson County Schools had named their transportation department after him. So his son, Calvin, and grandkids decided to send him off in the best way: in a school bus casket.
