Joseph D. Weber

Joe was born on May 3, 1939 in South Muddy Township, Illinois to the late Joseph H. and Annette E. (Volk) Weber. On August 20, 1964, he married Karen R. Kocher, who he shared 60 years of marriage with. Joe earned a Bachelor's in Science from Eastern Illinois University in 1966. After college, he began working as an accountant for Bridgestone/Firestone where he worked for 35 years until he retired in 2001. During his "retirement", he enjoyed keeping busy. He did this by working at his daughter's accounting firm, working as a poll worker, and as the treasurer of his HOA. He also spent his time babysitting his grandkids, delivering for Meals on Wheels, serving as an Aultman Eucharistic minister, leeding rosary at Woodlawn nursing home, driving for his friends, volunteering at St. Michaels, and serving as an officer of the Knights of Columbus. Joe also made time for his hobbies, which included playing bridge, bowling, and golfing. He also loved to play with his grandkids, watching the Cardinals baseball team and the Bears football team, and reading westerns.

Joe is survived by his loving wife, Karen, three children: Lynn (Richard) McMasters, Michael (Dawn) Weber, and Nelson Weber; six grandchildren: Brian McMasters, Dr. Sarah (Derek) Galla, Elizabeth McMasters, and Ryan, Lauren, and Brigid Weber; four siblings, many nieces and nephews, and many friends.

Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by brother, Neil Weber.
