Robert “Bob” Wedemeyer, age 82, of Leland, NC, passed away at his home with his family by his side on Saturday, January 16, 2021.

He was born in Baltimore City, MD, on June 9, 1938, the son of Ella Naomi Wedemeyer and Norman August Wedemeyer. He is preceded in death by brothers, William and Norman Wedemeyer.

Bob graduated from Southern High School in Baltimore City and continued with his education at Catonsville Community College. Bob served his country as a young man in the Army until his honorable discharge. His career followed a few paths beginning with the Baltimore City Police Department andending as an Infrastructure Supervisor with Anne Arundel County. His greatest accomplishment was that of a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His family always came first. His friends were a close second as he was someone who never met a stranger.

Bob is survived by his loving wife Geraldine (Gerry) Wedemeyer, daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Tom Flatley, son and daughter-in-law, Mark and Michele Wedemeyer, grandchildren Becky and her husband Jason Alberti, Chris Flatley, Zach Wedemeyer, and Kyle Wedemeyer; great-grandchildren Jackson and Raelynn Alberti; siblings George Wedemeyer and “sister” Mary Jo Stephens. He was loved by all and willleave a void in the lives of those who knew and loved him.

Services will be determined at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations made to Lower Cape Fear Life Care, 1414 Physicians Drive, Wilmington, NC 28401, in memory of Bob would be greatly appreciated.

    Dear Gerry: Nothing I say can take away the heartache the loss that you are feeling. When I first met Bob it wasn't here at heritage shores but when I visited my father at work at Proctor Silex years ago. He introduced me to Bob and it wasn't until I told him my name that he mentioned my father's name that we put the two together and ever since that day we had a special friendship. I will truly miss playing cards and talking with Bob, he will always me remembered as a great guy.

    Dear Gerry, You must know how deeply saddened I am over your loss. Your husband and I were the dearest of friends and I dare say he was like a brother to me. I will miss him very much. I could always rely on Bobby whenever I needed help, a laugh, or just a friend. Our friendship started as young boys running the halls together. Many would say growing up you wouldn’t see one of us without the other. Throughout the years many things changed but our friendship always remained. Bobby and Gerry and Mil and I shared many memories and milestones including our wedding and Bobby becoming the godfather of our daughter. These are just a few of the many memories I will cherish forever. Rest In Peace my friend. Our deepest sympathies, George and Mil

    I’m so sorry to hear of Mr. Bob’s passing. He always made me smile...Always had a positive thing to say and share. I was fortunate to grow up around the corner from the Wedemeyer family as a kid — and it was actually Mr. Bob who suggested and helped coordinate my college roommate arrangement with his son, Mark. I’ll be forever grateful for this. Mr. Bob was kind. He shared his love of life whenever he came to see us at Salisbury. He made a difference in the lives of others and he always had something positive to share. Rest easy, Mr. Bob! You will be missed by everyone who knew you.

    Such a pleasure to have known Mr. Wedemeyer as it is to call his son Mark my friend. I know his presence will be missed by so many and my thoughts and prayers will be for the Wedemeyer family. His memory will always bring a smile to my face.
