It is with sorrow and gratitude that we mark the passing of Charles "Chuck" Weber, 75, — sorrow at the loss, gratitude for the life.
These pages are a small offering toward a much larger life.
Charles entered this world in 1950 — the start of a journey that would span 75 years.
Charles held deeply to the Catholic faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
The traditions Charles loved will continue to hold those he loved.
