Although he was only a member of Jolliff United Methodist Church for a short time, Weba was as active as he could be and was beloved by the members of the congregation. Memories of his impish grin and hearty laugh are now indelibly linked to the pie-in-the-face contest at the recent Chili Cook-off.

Allan, Rick and Lisa, we are truly sad to hear the news of Weba's departure from our Earth. Your father consistently reminded all how to live each day with an abundance of gratitude for what we have, and his personality was as fun as they get. I appreciated him visiting my father in the hospital, and have always admired his love for others.

I am so pleased that Weba came and joined us at Jolliff Church. He was such a dear, sweet man. He will be missed, but not forgotten.

Allan, Ricky, Lisa & family: To let you know that living next door to your Dad all those years was such a joy. I can remember him shaking his head with wonder when we told him of our little projects like the skateboard we built from scratch. Every time I ended up with the wind knocked out of me from falling off the monkey bars or the bike - he was always right there to pick up the pieces! Please know that we are thinking of you at this very sad time - let us know if we can do anything.
