Harold R. Weaver, my dad, joined my mother in heaven today April 24, 2009. He was born in Arthur, Illinois on November 13, 1914 to the late Harry and Calla Weaver. He moved to Wisconsin as a young boy where he attended vocational schools. Dad and mom met in Green Bay and were married on September 2, 1939 at Trinity Lutheran Church.
Dad and Mom moved to Detroit in 1942 where he worked in the defense plants and several auto plants. He retired from Kaiser Frazer and then he went to work for the city of Dearborn Hts. as a mechanic. He retired in 1971, they then moved up to Abrams, WI and operated the Country Jct. Tavern for 37 years. After mom's death in 2001 and his failing health he sold the tavern and moved to Green Bay. There he resided with his daughter Sue and Rex. Dad was a member of Calvary Lutheran Church and very much enjoyed the visits from Pastor Earl, Pastor Gail, Sue Rasmussen and Carole, the church nurse.
