Kiwanis Club of San Pedro CA

09/05/2024

We were just informed of the passing of one of our oldest members and longest members of the San Pedro Kiwanis club. Chris Wantanabe, Chris served his treasure president secretary I don’t think there was a position that Chris didn’t serve as,. Chris enjoyed going to the botanical gardens and volunteering there. I’m know that was one of his favorite places. Chris will truly be missed in the San Pedro area. Once we find out the families wishes, we will pass them on here. Please keep his wife and daughter and your prayers and thoughts. Thank you.
