Jon Weiss ran a first class hardware operation.
He, his children and his employees were always ready and willing to assist each and every customer that entered the store.
I especially enjoyed watching him greet and visit with his customers during their annual hot dog sale weekend. He will be greatly missed.
Requiescat in pace.

Jon was an amazing man and had a great store with his family who treated anyone who came in that store like we were part of it. My condolences
