I was one of the fortunate people who experienced Pastor Weiser´s amazing tours of Germany. The first was a trip to see where my Ernst and Weber ancestors had lived. I went with my father and one of my sons. I also visited the marvelous Christmas markets with some of my other children. The markets were incredible but couldn´t compare with meeting the talented artists in Seiffen and attending church services there. Fred is in my thoughts and prayers, especially at Christmas.

Dear Uncle Fred,
It has been almost six years since you left us. Of course, you are remembered by many. I am pleased that your collection of Fraktur will go on display at Winterthur this spring. You put a lot of energy into that collection.
Love, Mark

As I still see your name in print, it strikes me what an amazing impact you had in the world of genealogy, not just for the Weiser Family organization.
The Pennsylvania German church books you translated are still so useful.
Thank-you for your dedication. We miss you.

My grandfather was a descendent of Conrad Weiser. His name was Martin Luther Weiser, the youngest of 12, born in York, Pa. My Mother was Mary E Weiser Schneck, born approximately 1906-1908, his only daughter. My grandfather was a graduate of University of Pennsylvania. I have photos that my mother collected of my grandfather during the 1900's. I would like to connect with cousins, descendents of my grandfather. Best wishes, Liz --Elizabeth Ann Schneck Palter, email [email protected], Providence, RI. My telephone is 401 861-1164.

Fred Weiser was a classmate and friend of my brother Alan Griffin at Glenbard Township High School, Glen Ellyn, IL, in the early '50s. Both of them were so gifted. They both shared a deep love of the German language, and I can envision them in heaven, excitedly sharing snatches of poetry by Rilke and Goethe.
Clearly Fred's loving and fruitful ministry to his parisioners will inspire and encourage for years to come. He was a faithful and loving servant to His Lord.

Thinking of you, far-off cousin Fred. Especially because I'm going through a big pile of photos of you in preparation for a display for the Weiser 300th shindig. You will always be missed, but you will especially be missed at the 300th events. I pray that the Father gives you a pass to wander unseen among the attendees. Love you and miss you....

Fred Weiser was my pastor at St Paul’s Lutheran Church in Biglerville, PA. While he was pastor there he gave me my first communion, confirmed me, performed my wedding, and baptized my first child. I have lots of fond memories and funny stories from those times.
While studying for confirmation, I complained in class that the small catechism was way too much to memorize. Pastor Weiser without hesitation said, “Robert, you are an A student, and if you can memorize the words to all of those Rock and Roll songs, you can certainly memorize Luther’s Catechism!” And of course, I did.
Pastor Weiser and Pastor Neff often hired me in the summer to weed flower beds, mulch, or mow lawn. I really enjoyed those times and especially looked forward to supper time with all of those great desserts! In the evenings Pastor Neff took me to the movies in Hanover.
In the summer of 1977, Pastor Weiser took my youth group and me to Germany for three weeks. It was a great time. We were a lot to handle! Later, he also took my wife and me on a couple of day trips too. One of our favorites was a trip to Inner Harbor in Baltimore.
I graduated from Millersville University, and while I was there, Pastor Weiser would often swing by school and take my future wife and me out to dinner. It was a welcome break from dining hall food. Also, on one occasion he appeared as a guest speaker in my German Class to teach Pa German Culture. He was as surprised to see me as I was him. After all, I was a math major. I told him it was an elective, and I needed an easy A. I can still hear his roaring laugh.
One of the best times of all was when Fred asked my wife Tina and me to serve punch at his house warming party in New Oxford. And what a punch it was! And what a lively crowd it became! I’ve never heard so much Pa Dutch laughter.
From 1996-2000 as luck might have it, Tina and I were members of Christ Lutheran Church in York PA with Pastor Weiser. And on one occasion he conducted the Easter Sunrise Service. I hadn’t heard him sing the liturgy for many years, but I thought it was one of the best services I’ve ever been to. On the way out, I told him that he sounded great! He waved his hand and replied, “Ah, you’ve heard better before”.
My family and I were very saddened to learn of Pastor Weiser’s death. While we lost touch over the past decade, Tina and I will never forget him. He was not only a very intelligent, kind and generous man; he was our pastor and our friend.
Regards,
Robert and Tina Kluck Mackley

We were very saddened to learn of Fred's passing to the other side. We and our son Grant share so many fond memories of times with Fred and Larry - a trip to Winterthur in the early 70s, the lighting of REAL candles on their Christmas tree, their wonderful onion pie, stories of their escapades in Germany, their several fun parties with Dave playing bartender while Sue helped Larry in the kitchen, lots of laughs and a few beers talking about Pennsylvania German antiques, and much, much more. Fred's humor, friendship, and passion, knowledge and scholarship concerning the Pennsylvania German history in Pennsylvania will be sorely missed.

Larry, I'm really saddened by Fred's passing. Even though both of us knew he couldn't continue as he was, it is still a shock when it happens.
I really don't know what to say except that my prayers and the prayers of all who played a part in the publishing of Trinity's records are with you. I pray that in time you will know the peace that Fred now knows.
His passing leaves a big hole in my heart. The thing that really saddens me is that his brain was so full of knowledge and unfortunately we don't have the ability to tap into it anymore.
I will continue to try to reach you by phone. I am sure you have been kept very busy, but know that until I can tell you in person, I will tell you here that you are a wonderful person and I am so greatful that you took on Fred's care at a sacrifice to yourself. You are a true servant of God. He will reward you.

I just read of Fred's death in the Hanover Historical Society's newsletter. My husband and I attended Gettysburg College the same years as Fred. It wasn't until just a few years ago that we came in contact with him once again at St. Matthew Church in Hanover. I had returned for a visit to my home town. Fred was giving a talk in the Church during Dutch Days. It was then that he offered to help me place a very old book that dealt with the Brethern Church. Also he helped to place old German language hymnals used in St. Matthew by my ancestors. He was so helpful. We had a lovely dinner with him and a friend of his at the Atland House. He was such a brilliant man, and a good man.

Dear Harriett, Mark, and Larry...I am thinking of you three at this time. I was able to travel with three times to Europe...Fred truly was a man of vast knowledge in many areas , which he shared without hesitation, I did appreciate that....but , most of all his concern for us all in his humble, humorous and factual way. His sharing of the scriptures at a layman's level as well, was a true gift. Larry, you and Fred did make us feel welcome in your home, thank you. To say we, as cousins will miss him, at this point, sounds trite, but we truly will...he was our family jell. Fred ,is well and resting, now...I am thankfur for that., as I know you are. Regards, Nancy Weiser Baue

To Larry & the M.Everett Weiser family,
My sincere & deep sympathy in the passing of Fred. He was a good man, pastor, & historian. Larry, I appreciated you & Fred's love for antiques and enjoyed seeing many in your house along with the frakturs and the cats!
Fred left a great written legacy for all the Weiser's in the history & geneology books & pamphlets he published. My sons are part of that legacy.
Fred will be missed and fondly, remembered.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Fred's passing. On behalf of my father, Alan Weiser; my son, Jarrod Jabre; and myself I would like to pass on condolences to friends and family. My father was privilaged to accompany Fred on one of his pilgramages to the family sites in Germany. My son and I enjoyed corresponding with Fred as we are direct descendence of John Conrad Weiser and both of us graduated from Gettysburg Seminary. Fred was very supportive our callings to serve the Lord.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Fred. I had the pleasure of attending, at the invitation of John Conrad Weiser, Fred's stimulating lecture on German folk art at the American Museum of Folk Art in Manhattan. Unhappily, it was to be his last at that venue. High among Fred Weiser's many achievements was his important role
in bringing to the attention of the greater art world the rich creative treasures of Fraktur. He will be missed.

My sincere condolences to Harriett. I recall Fred and the Weiser family spending time at the beach in Norfolk with the Sheelys when we were kids (not so long ago). Dad loved him like a son and beat Fred to heaven by 6 days.
We kept in touch throughout the years sharing an interest in geneology and trading family information and photos as if they were treasures. They are. My wife, Julie, who came to know Fred, and I will will miss him greatly - his great sense of humor, his frankness and his generosity. .

One of my earliest memories is of sitting on the floor in our grandmother's home with Fred and Harriette. I remember wishing I had "big" feet like Fred, who was older, so I could wear tennis shoes instead of sandals with socks. His feet left big footprints. It was Fred who maintained the family history and family ties.

We all were very saddened by Fred's death.
I got to know Fred in the 1960's when I was working on a paper for examination about the Weiser Family. I was surprised to learn from the Family association that Fred was staying in Neuendettelsau for a Diakonisches Jahr at this time. Soon we got in contact and Larry and Fred were our guests in my grandma's house. Fred of course went to the archives and in April 9th, 1965 he wrote into our guest book "After two days in the archives, I feel at least 300 years old and at least that much dust must have been stirred up by us. Come to America some time; it's not nearly as old and besides the drivers are politer - but as the farmer in Womelsdorf said, 'Bring daEssa mit' ". This was the beginning of a long friendship.
In 1972 Fred became godfather of our son Bernd. In the following years he often stayed a few days in Aspach sometimes with smaller other times with larger groups of the Weiser family members.
One year Fred and Larry preached in our church. Sometimes they were welcomed by the mayor of Aspach and even held presentations about the Weiser family for interested citizens.
We will miss him but hope that the Weiser family will continue the friendship with Aspach in Fred's spirit in the future.

Fred was the authority on the Weiser's and so many other families that came to America. He was the driving force behind the Weiser Family Association. He will be deeply missed by all those whose lives he has touched. He was a kind and caring man and a true gentleman. May he rest in peace.

Like so many, I am saddened by Fred's death. He was a generous colleague who shared his vast knowledge of German-American history with us time and time again. Those of us at Colonial Williamsburg who knew Fred will always be grateful for his kindnesses and help over many, many years - - his translations of texts, advice on fraktur drawings, his scholarship on individual artists, working with him on special exhibits, his presentations with Larry, and much more. His contributions were great and our indebtedness remains large. But most of all, our lives were enriched by simply knowing Fred; his amusing stories, often drawn from his own experiences, were rich lessons about day to day life and the joys of being in this world. I will always cherish these memories and thank him for them.

I was genuinely saddened at the passing of Rev. Weiser who was often mentioned to me by his recently deceased nephew, Craig H. Russell, my fiancé. Craig talked about how dearly his "Uncle Fred" treated him, the research his uncle did on the Russell family history, and how much he respected his uncle’s life-long devotion as a pastor. "Uncle Fred" was shocked and saddened by Craig’s death.
These close series of heavy losses and grief have just been too much for the Russell and Weiser families – my deepest sympathy.
And respectable and cherished "Uncle Fred": my most sincere sympathy and tribute to you for Craig and from me – you will be greatly missed and remembered.
Rev. Fred Weiser at SAR Dedication of Patriot Jabetz Weiser May 21, 2007 by Ray Maxson, SAR Descendant.

Pastor Rev. Fred Weiser is a shining light of the Weiser Family and his legacy will be remembered for generations of Weiser's and Maxson's. My Mother was a grand daughter of a Weiser. Rev. Fred Weiser touched my life in a special way. It was a cold day in March 1979 when I first found the Homestead of my ancestor, Conrad Weiser, in Womelsdorf, PA. I immediately joined the Weiser Family Association. Then I found the wealth of history that Rev. Fred Weiser helped to gather.. Trips to Aspach, Germany, transulating the early records and placing a monument for Conrad Weiser's wife in Germany. I was admitted into the SAR from the Jabetz Weiser Patriotic legacy. I felt that I was coming home, when I went to the Church in Aspach, Germany, in 1985, and found the Monument, and was greeted with reverence and friendship as a descendent and long lost relative by the German Parishioners at the Monument.. we were strangers before we met at the monument that Rev. Fred Weiser posted as the guiding light, for us Weiser Descendents. Then when I got the PA and NC State SAR color guard to mark the Patriotic Service by the SAR and my own Patriot, Jabetz Weiser, on May 21, 2007, at Womelsdorf, PA, Rev. Fred Weiser, saved the day and made the event so memorable by giving the opening prayer. I will always remember the light that luminated the path of Rev. Fred Weiser.. I am thankful to have met and loved him.

Cousin Fred was the founder and driving force of the Conrad Weiser Family Assoc'n. I knew him best in that capacity and worked with him on the 1996 Weiser Families in America. He was so knowledgeable about and steeped in Weiser family history, genealogy in general, local and church history, the Palatine immigrations, fraktur, and so many other topics. I participated in one of his many trips to Europe, a Weiser family tour in 1988, the most memorable trip of my life.
Fred will be greatly missed by all of us Weisers, who are deeply grateful for his dedication to preserving the family's heritage. I only hope we can carry on his legacy.

I got to know Fred Weiser in the late 1970's when I got actively interested in genealogy. My grandfather had done a compilation of his wife's Weiser lineage in the 1930's and when I shared this with Pastor Weiser he encouraged me to update it. Little did I realize that that would be the start of a 30+ year, can I say "obsession"?, with researching first my son's ancestry and then my granddaughter's ancestry. Fred was always willing to offer suggestions to a new researcher. His love of the family heritage and the larger Pennsylvania German heritage permeated his life. His contributions to both are invaluable. Auf Wiedersehen.

We are deeply saddened at the passing of our cousin Fred. He and Larry were a wonderful comfort and family connection to our son Jason while he attended Franklin & Marshall College, as we his parents, were stationed overseas at that time and we knew that Jason was watched over by Fred when we could not. Fred provided comfort, love and a listening hear to Jason during his college years. Fred provided us all with wonderful stories and antidotes of the Sheely/Wiser family tree. His thoughtfulness and counsel will be greatly missed. But we know that heaven is a brighter place with 3 new stars: Fred Wiser, Harry Sheely (01/20/09) and Kathleen Sheely (04/2007), we can just see them sitting together talking and catching up on family news, while they wait for the rest of us to join them some day. With Love & Prayers:

Fred Weiser was a veritable walking encyclopedia of family and local history and was always quite willing to share his vast knowledge with those who sought him out. Everywhere I went to do family research on my PA German roots, I was asked if I knew Fred Weiser. I will also always remember what a kind, gentle man he was and how he had such a great sense of humor. He meant a lot to many, many people. What he meant to me is that because of him, I found my much loved hobby of genealogy and a passion for preserving family history. Because of Fred, we are left with the product of all of his decades of research and documentation, a wealth of the articles and books he wrote, the Weiser Family Association and memories of the kind retired pastor who taught us by example to honor and truly try to know those who had gone before. When he turned 70, I expressed my horror and asked him to take care of himself because he could never be replaced. He laughed to my mother about my worries for his lifespan. During these last weeks of his life, I tried to cheer and comfort him, but nothing I could do for him would ever match what he gave to me. So – here’s to you, Fred! Thanks so much. It was such a joy and an honor to have known you. What a wonderful, fascinating life you lived and you left this world loved by so many, many people. I’m jealous of your heavenly company and do hope that you have already had a chance to meet Old Conrad in person. Until we meet again, old friend….

Fred Weiser, a friend and colleague of 50 years, has gone to rest with his Lord. It was he who broke the news to me that we shared the same Weiser immigrant ancestor who arrived in America in 1710-11. Fred's career as a pastor and historian has been remarkable, exhibiting a truly caring heart and outstanding intellectual capacity. My sincere condolences go out to all his family and many, many friends.

Pastor Fred Weiser was an authority on many things: orthodox Lutheran theology and pietism, Pennsylvania German culture, German folk arts and crafts, geneology. But, it was his enduring love of the Lutheran chorale, its music and its text, that especially endeared him to me during my 34-year tenure as organist at Christ Lutheran Church in York. I can hear him singing "Vor deinen Thron tret ich hiermit" ("I stand before thy throne")!

This is indeed sad news. I remember visiting and dining with Fred at his home after his retirement, when he was still active enough to take folks on tours of Germany.
He allowed me to hold an early Pennsylvania land record of Johannes Conrad Weiser. (I held it far away, because I didn't want my tears to stain it!)
Fred also sat on the love seat in his master bedroom, in front of a wall mural of his family tree. When he held up one hand it was to spotlight his mother's side of the tree, and the other hand indicated his father's side.
In addition to being the single strongest influence for scholarly genealogical research on the Weiser family, Pastor Weiser translated many Pennsylvania & Maryland church records from German to English.
He had a way with words, and spoke well at any gathering. He will be sorely missed, but we are indeed better for having known him.

Rev. Weiser's work in compiling the family history of the descendants of Conrad Weiser, translating church records, editing books and periodicals for the Pennsylvania German Society, and his publications on historical and genealogical subjects is greatly appreciated. He was a good lecturer and a great tour leader for trips to Europe. The Pennsylvania German Society sponsored tour led by Fred Weiser was a wonderful education. He gave more that 100 per cent of his time to make sure all went well on the tour. This included the care of a hospitalized tour member and shareing his favorite places, foods and friends along the tour route.
Rev. Weiser will be missed by historians and genealogists.

I feel it a privilege to have had Pastor Fred touch my life not only as a pastor, but as a friend and mentor. His insights, prayers, humor, and on-going knowledge of our German heritage, lineage, and area history have been a blessing to many. "Well done, good and faithful servant." I will miss him dearly and pray for God's blessings and undergirding for his family and loved ones.

We have truely lost one of God's finest. He did so very much for our congregation and all we could ever do was say "thank you", not near enough. I will always remember my grand-daughter saying ," but I want to keep Pastor Weiser." To his family I send my prayers and know that God will give you the strength you need to get through these final days. To all his friends, we will lean on each other and make it through with our Father's support.
My prayers to all.

When Pastor Weiser was serving as Interim at Friedensaal he asked me to cover hospitalizations, etc, during one of his trips to Germany. This trip occurred around Christmas.
Upon his return, Pastor Weiser did something that no colleague had ever done before and none has ever done since: He gave me a little gift to express his appreciation. The gift was a CD recording of the Praetorious Lutheran Mass for Christmas Morning (as may have been performed in 1620).
I play that CD at least once every Christmastide. And so long as the disk endures I will have a wonderful memory of a wonderful servant of Christ.
