Joe was such a kind spirited man . If there was something that needed to be done, he was always there to help and share his many talents. He and his wife were such a great example to his family and friends of how God should be the center of a marriage. The Weaver home was always open to anyone that entered. He left behind a legacy to his family that with God all things are possible. He will be missed here but I’m sure Heaven is rejoicing ❤

I was a neighbor of Joe's in the building where he lived. I had the privilege of knowing him for the last 3 years, or so. He always had a kind word to say and a story or some wisdom to share.

He was a vital part of our community, here, and will be sorely missed by many people.

My condolences to your family.

Although Joe was my cousin, he felt more like an uncle. I appreciated him and Aunt Sis visiting my mother, Mary (Cornman) Sink when she first went into a personal care home. He was always a caring man and will be missed by all.
