I thoroughly enjoyed my time around Mr Wedemeyer. He was witty, funny, engaging, knowledgeable about so many topics, and he loved and was proud of his family. I will miss him.

Sandy, Scott and Wendy, Chuck was one of the finest men we had the pleasure to know. He loved his family and took great care of you all. Of course Sandy, your Scott was Jeffrey’s best friend and I loved your Scott as a third son. So glad Scott and Jeffrey ended their military careers and both retired close to each other outside of Wilmington. Sandy, can only imagine your loss, think of you often, and hope all of you can get together at times. God Bless Chuck’s soul.
