Richard N. Wevodau '62
Loyalty to Mechanicsburg High School
On January 15, 2007 the Mechanicsburg community lost one of its most dedicated Wildcat supporters, Dick Wevodau. Dick was born in Mechanicsburg and graduated in 1962. He was an employee of BCA Employee Mgmnt Group in Lemoyne before becoming a loan officer with First Bank and Trust in Mechanicsburg, later PNC Bank, from which he retired.
Dick was a founding member of the Wildcat Foundation, serving for many years as Board Member and Secretary. As a tribute to Dick, the Wildcat Foundation is dedicating their current $2,490,000 – "Strengthening Our Schools and Community" Capital Campaign in his memory.
His commitment to Mechanicsburg included service in countless organizations including Rotary Club of Mechanicsburg, Mechanicsburg Museum Association, the Simpson Public Library, Cub Scouts, Mechanicsburg Planning Commission, Mechanicsburg Optimist Club and, most importantly for the Alumni Association, our Treasurer for over 25 years.
Dick was always willing to volunteer his services to all the organizations and clubs he belonged to. His friendly smile, great humor and vibrant personality will be remembered by all who had the opportunity to meet him and work with him.
Dick is survived by his wife, Emmeline Coons Wevodau; a son, Edward Nevin Wevodau, '89, and his wife, Kimberly, of Grapevine, TX; a daughter, Kathleen, '92, and husband, Kirk Bordlemay, '93, of Bozeman, MT; three brothers,Victor, '65, and Nevin, '75, both of Mechanicsburg and Larry, '71, of Carlisle; and 4 grandchildren, Aiden and Austin Wevodau, Adam and Neve Hazel Bordlemay.
