Jeffrey Weis Obituary

Weis, Jeffrey D. Age 55, passed away peacefully on April 27, 2013, after a brief but courageous battle with cancer surrounded by the laughter and love of his wife, family and friends. Cherished husband and best friend of Pamela. Loving brother of Diana Ittner and Cyndie Weis. Further survived by special cousins, Craig (Cynthia), Julie (Frank), Tom (Tracy), Karen (John), Elizabeth (David) and Linda (Tim), aunts, nephews and nieces and great-nieces, his mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, and other relatives, colleagues and friends. Preceded in death by his loving and devoted parents, Lois (Ebert) and David, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and dear friends. Jeff graduated from Nicolet High School, 1975, University of Wisconsin-Stout, 1979. Jeff worked for over 30 years in the container industry, beginning at Nelson Container, and for the past 17 years as an account manager for Great Northern Corporation. Jeff had a gift for friendship and was known for his kindness, honesty, loyalty, strength, courage, commitment and sense of fun and humor. He will be greatly missed and loved forever by the many people whose lives he touched. Heartfelt thanks to all the doctors and nurses, especially Melanie and Stacy, at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital for their compassionate care. Family will greet relatives and friends at Wisconsin Memorial Park, 13235 W. Capitol Dr. Brookfield on Wednesday, May 1 from 4 to 6 PM, followed by a service at 6:15 PM.

Hi Pam:
We met a couple of times, paticularlly at Summerfest and some Ampitheate Concerts. I knew Jeff working with him when he was at Nelson Conatiner and a brief time when he was with Grest Northern Container. Jeff serviced us at Zens Maunfactruring selling containers. What a good guy always friendly, great sence of humor great smile and the ugliest golf swing ever..... but boy he could wack the ball. When we would run into each other golf outings, Summerfest whatever he always made you feel like he was your best friend. I am so sorry I missed his funeral . My very deepest sympathy Ill will miss Jeff.
Sincerely
Dan Zens

Pam, I was in a golf league with Jeff the past few years. It is the only contact I really had with him, but it seemed like we were old buddies. Jeff always went out of his way to say hello, and always made me feel like I was important. He was the guy everyone wanted to match up against as he made people enjoy the round, just a pleasure to be with. His presence will most definetly be missed by all who knew him. A moment of silence and a brief prayer will be said on Jeff's behalf Monday May 20th as we dedicate our season to him and begin our league. Peace be with you. Tony Serio

Pam,
We enjoyed the good times we had together, especially the Badger games. I especially cherish the years we played softball together and having Jeff as a supplier of corrugated material. I will remember him fondly as being a master of practical jokes, having been the subject of some myself.

You are in our thoughts and we pray you find solace in the memories of the wonderful man you married.

I graduated from Nicolet and Stout with Jeff, he was just plain a decent honest, fun guy. We both spent a lot of time in the weight room. He will be missed by a lot of people.

Hi Pam
I'm so sorry to hear about Jeff. Though I only played golf with him a couple of times a year, he was undauntedly the friendliest and happy per I've ever met.
God bless you and may Jeff's soul rest in peace.

Pam: Jeff never lost his mischievous smile or his kind ways. As a cousin at Nicolet in the same grade, I always felt he was watching out for me. I will always remember his dad, Dave, sitting in the Nicolet bleachers, Jeff's loyal fan at every game. John really enjoyed playing golf with him every Father's Day. It was a privilege to be one of the 10 Ebert cousins along with Jeff and we grieve with you at the loss of such a special man.

Pam, I am sorry for your loss. I learned a lot about packaging and business from Jeff. He taught me how to have fun with work while keeping the customer happy. Jeff was always quick with a laugh and seemed to have a funny story for every occasion. I had not seen Jeff for about 10 years but ran into him at an IoPP meeting 2 years ago and had a lot of laughs. Again, I am sorry for your loss and he will be missed by many.

Our deepest sympathy to you Pam and family. I(we) enjoyed working with Jeff on the Parkshore Board and being neighbors. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. May God comfort you, bless you and give you peace.

Pam: I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember that smile of Jeff's, it was constantly on his face. I have many fond memories of "excursions" he took me on while I worked at GB, particularly the rooftop ballgame when he encouraged me to go down and dance and sing with the street musicians to encourage our group to throw them tips! He truly was one of a kind.
