Kathy, Pat & Butch, Steve, Ann, Susie & Mike,
My sincere sympathy to you all. Many good memories of the Wegmann get togethers. Chris tended to be one of the quieter of the bunch, but always ready for fun. With 5 of us Wegmann cousins all in the same grade I think we had a special bond. He will be missed and in our thoughts and prayers. Dawn Rude

Chris and I were first cousins. We saw each other often at family gatherings during the first 15 years of our lives. I have very fond memories of those times. Rest in peace, Chris. My condolences to your family.
