William (Bill) Weber
(July 29, 1917 – January 9, 2012)
It is with great sadness that “the old buck” as he called himself, passed away at the age of 94 years at Mainprize Manor in Midale, Saskatchewan.
Bill was predeceased by his wife Florence (nee Dame); their son Wayne; parents, Rosa (nee Mitchel) and John; brothers, Mathew and his wife Mary (nee Karkowski), Roy and Gerald, as well as sister Pauline and her husband Bert Buck; sister-in-law Olive Weber (Don) and sister-in-law Lilas (nee Andrews), wife of Adelord Dame.
Bill and Florence owned and operated a taxi company in Estevan called “City Cab”. After they sold the business, Bill later took a position in parts with Bill Harris, “The Massey Man from Estevan” where he soon became Parts Manager, until he retired.
Bill leaves behind two brothers, Donald, Red Deer, AB, Edwin (Olive nee Shea), Calgary, AB; two daughters, Judith (Paul Fraser), Regina, SK, Marian (Don Dukart), Estevan, SK and two sons, Francis (Sandy), Regina and Mark (Karen), Lloydminster, SK and brother-in-law Adelord Dame, Tucson, AZ. Bill was blessed with five grandchildren, Brent, Todd and Christie, born to Frank and Sandy; Makinley and Kelsy, born to Mark and Karen; and two great grandchildren, Crystal and Justin, born to Christie and J.R. Vincent.
Bill’s family would like to sincerely thank all the staff at Mainprize Manor and Dr. Allison Christie for their great care of Dad from 2003 until his passing.
A funeral mass will be celebrated on Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. in St. John the Baptist R.C. Church, Estevan, by Rev. Peter Nijssen. Interment will take place in Sacred Heart Parish Cemetery, Benson, SK with the family in attendance only.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of choice in Bill’s memory.
An expanded memoriam honouring Bill’s life will follow at a later date.
