To all the family and friends of my uncle, John Weick:
I've put off writing this long enough, struggling to find the right words to say.  My earliest memories of Uncle John are from when he was in his twenties and dating the lady who would become my Aunt Karen and mother to his four children.  I think I attended their wedding, but my memory there is fuzzy as I was very young.  One of my favorite childhood memories was watching Uncle John and my father (George Weick), who was John's older brother, play ping pong in our basement; they were both good players, evenly matched, and had some terrific matches.
After graduating from Syracuse University (where Uncle John had also attended) and the SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry, I moved to Arkansas to find work in forestry and my career has taken me to five different southern states.  It seemed like whenever we returned to western New York to see our family and friends Uncle John would find out and take the time to stop in and visit.  There was no doubt how much he loved his family as he would always fill us in on all the doings of his children.
Uncle John was a great planner and organizer and he always seemed to have another project or activity he was working on.  He organized many family reunions and an annual musical production which unfortunately I was never able to attend.
Uncle John had a lovely baritone voice and one of my fondest memories is hearing him sing with my father, who sang tenor.
Proverbs 17:22 says, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine," and Uncle John was one who always seemed to have a merry heart.  I know he struggled at times, but whenever I was around him his smile and positive attitude were contagious.  I know his children and grandchildren will miss him dearly because he worked so hard to be a part of their lives in whatever they were doing.  To them especially I pray that God will comfort you and help you to remember all the sweet and wonderful times you had with him, my Uncle John.
Yours in Christ,
George F. Weick, Jr.

When I retired in 1998 John asked me if I would be interested in joining his golf foursome.  Not being a good golfer I was hesitant, However I joined and we had many joyful Wednesdays trying to master the game.  John had to stop golfing in 2009 and Bud passed the following Feb.  Ed and I still golf every Wednesday and often reminisce about John and Bud.  John was one of a kind and will not be forgotten.

I first met John when I was a Den Mother and he was a Scout Leader at Thomas Edison School Troop 229 and later my kids played softball on the  E A League. John was a great guy. I was happy to have him in our family when my son Tom married his daughter Julie. John please watch over Ethan and Spencer.   Rest in peace.

I first met John Weick in the late 1970's. He was my Cub Scout leader and one of the heads of EA softball. Back then, every kid that went to Edison school knew about EA softball and knew John Weick. He taught us about sportmanship, fair play,and how fun it was to play sports. As the leader of our Scout pack, he lead us every year in the Memorial Day parade and took us to fun places like the Toronto Science Center. I could not imagine someone being able to deal with so many energetic kids as well as John did. I think that most of my friends from Cub Scouts would agree that John helped to make us the men that we are today. I believe that the impact that he had on an entire generation of children around Edison was tremendous and cannot be underestimated. That does not end my relationship with John, however. One day my brother set me up on a blind date with a girl named Julie who lived on Loretta. I was surprised when I opened the door and my old Cub Scout leader was there. When Julie and I married, John welcomed me with open arms into his family. I have many happy memories of John. The Weick family picnics, meeting him and his girlfriend Diana in Florida on vacation, his magical singing voice, the way that he used to love building things in his basement for my boys, going to a Sabres playoff game with him and the Weick boys, the way he would tell the story of when he took Ethan to Teds when he was little and Ethan wanted the hot sauce because he was a red hot guy, the time we spent watching football together and talking sports . . . the thing that I will miss the most though is the smile that accompanied John wherever he went. John had a smile that lit up the room. He had the power to enter a room of strangers and leave with friends.  I will miss him, but I will never forget him.

Our sympathies to Wayne, Sharon, Andrew, and Matt

In memory of my "Grand" Uncle John:
   I hold many great memories of John -- especially his enormous passion for singing and sacred music. He has been an inspiration to me since my school days and throughout my years as a choir singer and, more recetly, aspiring voice actor. Thank you, John, for sharing your voice talents with me and so many others. I bet the angels are loving your baritone voice in the heavens!
   I also remember the many years Uncle John would bring so much life to family gatherings, reunions and holidays. His love of life was infectious...expressed from the heart -- whether you were immediate family or a neighborhood customer on his mail delivery route. Thank you, John, for the kindness and warmth you shared.
   May his surving family and friends cherish all the good times -- sing for joy -- in memory of a Great man!

My deepest condolences to the Weick faamily on the passing of John. I remember many years singing with him in the St. Peters Choir. Such a fine voice, and man! My prayers for strength go out to you all.

When I moved into my home in Tonawanda in 1985, I had the privilege of meeting John.  He was our mail carrier for many years and I have to say that he was  truly the consummate professional.  He consistently went above and beyond the call of duty, as well, always making sure all details of his work were completed to perfection.  In addition to the great dedication he showed to his work, John was always so personable and routinely offered words of kindness and friendship.  I often thought of him over the years after he retired and will always remember his incredible kindness and humanity.  He will not ever be forgotten and I'm so saddened to hear of his passing.  He was and always will be such a special person to me and to my family!

I remember John as a man with a warm heart, and a beautiful voice. He had this ability to make people feel welcome, as he did with me when I joined this family. John will always be in my mind the man who sang so beautifully at my wedding.

A great neighbor. John always had a kind word and a smile for everyone. He welcomed me and my family to the neighborhood over 30 years ago and we shared favors and good converstions ever since. He will be missed. Rest In Peace.

I will miss Mr Weick. I had the honor of coaching his granddaughters for many years.His wisdom and heart are with us forever.The love he has for those girls ,is reflected in their  smiles, their  laughter.I Know Hannahs violin skills,and marrisas drum skills,and his son Brians piano skills, all come from this loving man.I am blessed to have seen him perform at church, and i know God has a new angel,one we will miss forever.Until God calls our names to be with Mr Weick,we will hold our memories dear.In his son we will see his eyes, in his grandchildren he so cherished ,we will hear his laugh.My love for this man and his family has defind   my life.God Bless you sir, life will not be the same without you,,

I remember Mr. Weick calling the action behind the plate at the Thomas Edison baseball field. This was the 1970's, but the memories still remain. I can still see dozens of parents sitting on the edge of their folding lawn chairs, rooting for their kid to knock it out of the park. Each week during the summer I looked forward to playing in E/A. The  lessons learned about teamwork, respect and losing with dignity will last a lifetime. 
The E/A Softball League that Mr. Weick pioneered was the social network of the day. It brought people together, and gave people a chance to actually meet their neighbors and have face-to-face conversations, something that is sadly missing in society today.

jules--you and your family will be in my prayers. treasure the memories for they will certainly help you get through this tough time. love to you.

I will forever miss my dads sweet voice, his cheery grin, so many things.....he has left us with many beautiful memories that we will cherish always....

Thinking of my childhood memories on Loretta and EA Softball…....... My thoughts and prayers are with you..

It is difficult to choose just a few wonderful memories of someone who has been in your life for over 70 years. He always loved to introduce me as "Niece Jean" and watch people try to figure that one out since he was only a few years older than me and my brother. Many of you may have heard our stories of childhood times on Minnesota, baseball in the street, hide and seek on the fences between the houses, the summer month at Java Lake, walks to the show on Bailey,and Pa Browns on the Corner for ice cream. As we grew up memories became filled with John's passion for music, his acceptional voice and the many events that came with it. I could go on and on, but will just say that I am happy that God has now made a special theater for him and that he is once again singing and at peace.  He will be sadly missed, as he was much more a brother than an uncle.
Hugs and prayers for you..."Uncle" John
Love,"Niece Jeanne"

My father will be greatly missed and will remain forever in my life. I have such wonderfull memories of him  and he was the best father any son could possibly have had.

I loved him  so much and am thankfull that he is resting in peace now...
