Lorin C. Wegand
Obituary
Lorin was born and raised in Southern California. He came to the Bay Area when the Navy
stationed him at Moffett Field and later on an aircraft carrier in Alameda.
He was thrilled when Admiral Zumwalt allowed sailors to grow a beard.
After discharge he stayed in the Morgan Hill and San Martin area and started working
as a clerk for Nob Hill Foods in Morgan Hill and Gilroy until he retired. Lorin also dabbled in comedy writing for TV while attending San Jose State and writing restaurant reviews for a local paper. He began a "collectibles" business in a downtown Gilroy antique shop. Many will remember him
taking his cat, Scrappy, on a leash to visit friends in other shops and also as a therapy cat to
local care facilities.
Lorin was predeceased by his mother Rita and stepfather Alan Ogle. He is survived by his
younger sister Sheri, and two former wives and many cousins.
Lorin maintained friendships with his Southern California schoolmates as well as coworkers
from his Nob Hill days. He loved sharing a laugh over a corny jake with his friends.
