"I lived and then I died"-JW

James T. "Jim" Weaver, 79, AKA Pop-Pop, passed peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday, 9/30/23. He was born in Lancaster to the late Robert R. and Josephine M. (Ottiger) Weaver. He was married 59 years to his beloved wife Sue (Minnich) Weaver.

Jim graduated from Warwick High School and Stevens Trade with a degree in mechanical engineering. He was a self-employed carpenter and could build/fix anything. He retired from Clair Brothers in 2006, but continued work in his workshop, on his '55 Chevy, and renovating the family cabin "The Shak". He loved Genesse beer, nature, his grandchildren and family (not necessarily in that order).

He had a unique sense of humor, yet was a man of few words. Always a teacher, he made every conversation count. He lived life to the fullest, creating a party wherever he went. Anyone who met Jim had an instant and loyal friend. He was a member of the American Legion Post #56 and the Sons of Italy.

In addition to his wife Sue, he is survived by 3 children: Timothy J. Weaver (Elizabeth Bjelica), Michael S. Weaver (Suzie Miller), and Dr. Nicole Zimmerman Cesavice (Josh); brother Robert R. Weaver, sister Babs Weaver Tribble (Jim), 11 grandchildren: Justus (Haley Kurz), Bryce, Peyton (Aaron Lenning), Dylan, Brady, Alec, Kyle, Breanna, Taylor, Dominic, and Koby; and many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family and furbabies. He was predeceased by his sister-in-law Carole (Ressler) Weaver and niece Renae Weaver.

Celebration of Life will be 10/21/23 at Sue's house. Contact family for address.
