Our deepest sympathy to all family members.
Love, Keith, Kim and Joe Hajek
Always remember Mr Weber at Mass with his family. He liked to sit at the end of the pew in the north side of the church with his family. We always enjoyed seeing him and his family together. Marie and I are praying for him and the rest of the Weber family. May his soul rest in peace.
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Webber. I will surely miss him. His smile would always light of the room and it was always a great time with him chopping it up about football, whtever great meal he had that week, or the latest puzzle he was working on. He was so appreciative of just the smallest thing be it a baked chicken from Bakers I would bring him or helping him fix his TV. He demonstrated and modeled manhood and being a father myself I couldn’t help but appreciate his accomplishment in raising his children with so many mouths to feed. I consider the measure of a man by his legacy and what they leave behind and his family certainly bears witness of that love and success. I’ll never forget you Mr. Webber and I will cherish the times we spent together.
Sorry to hear about this. He raised some great children!
