I MISS you daddy ❤❤
You are my hero, the wind beneath my wings

It's 4 years today daddy that you went to heaven. My heart aches but you soothe it as you grace this child of yours with your presence. You are my hero, the wind beneath my wings. (thanks for sending me that song, our song) . I love you my hero, Cindy

To the Weller family we are sorry for your loss. Mr. Weller coached for so many years at St. Anthony's, he gave so much of his time to coach so many of us. I was fortunate to have played for Coach , as so many were. I have so many great stories, in football coach calling "the bomb", lining up to punt but never kicking, but my favorite is during a close basketball game. We broke the huddle after a timeout and he called me back. Coach looked at me, and with that Coach Weller smile and chuckle,...

I am sorry to hear of Coach Weller's passing. I played on the last football team that he coached at St.Anthony's. He was such a fantastic man. Even when you did something wrong he made you feel good about yourself. Always nice to see Coach Weller at St.Anthony's for mass. It was nice to know he remembered who I was.

Dear Weller Family, Jane and I are sorry to hear about the passing of Coach Weller. He was the best coach I ever had. He taught us well but made the learning fun. Who else though of making you pick daisies on Northrup Park's hill for not hitting hard enough in practice - Genius! From J.R. Moehringer, The Tender Bar

I will always remember at a St. Anthony' basketball practice when he was coaching us on jump shots. I let one fly from too far out and it missed the hoop by a good three feet, where coach caught it way before it hit the floor. Instead of yelling at me, he simply said "Nice pass, Collins" and let it go at that. Almost 6o years ago and I will always remember him for his humor and generosity, as will a large part of the Collins family.

Sorry for your lose. I am sure your father was proud of the son, husband, father, and friend that you are.
