Karl Weiffenbach Obituary
He lived an exceptional life! Chicago shenanigans in his youth, a veteran Marine of the Korean War, a graduate of Loyola Academy and the Colorado School of Mines where he was a beloved member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
He worked on the propulsion team for the Apollo and Saturn rocket systems at the Marshall Flight Center in Alabama. He was a brilliant mathematician and worked on projects across the country for military subcontracts.
He was a caring husband, father, and teacher to his four children. Steven William, Hans, and Jennifer. As well as his daughter-in -laws Grace, Beky and Patricia.
He adored everything life brought. Sports like squash, judo, target shooting , tennis marathons, skiing, football, gymnastics, and downhill racing.
His true loves were literature, poker, chocolate in any form, sharing moments of laughter and love with all those he cared for. He loved dad jokes, bad B movies, horror movies, really burned hotdogs, animals (especially dogs and birds), and beauty, especially that of nature.
He leaves a cadre of grandchildren. Cassian Weiffenbach, Kristina and Mathew Moss, Katrina and John Ferry. Alyna and John, Curtis and Cortney. His grandchildren Fin, Raidyn , Freya , Claudia,Isaac, Joel, Naomi, Andrew and Abigail Moss, Ella, Zoey, and Alija.
His family of choice were so dear to him. His grandchildren from New Haven CT Bria, Larry, Ronnie, Kajuan, mini Rob, Duke, Zay, Whitney, Christina, Mellissa , Aaron, Sincere, Tata, Tye and Keshawn. All who shared a deep love and respect as well as a lot of fun between them.
His Portsmouth RI family of choice grandchildren Ava, Ben, Abby, Maddy, and Gracie. All who taught him to love all things fun, silly, covered in glitter and warmth.
His deep sense of humor, earnest quest for knowledge, kindness, as well as his nurturing and accepting presence spoke of a man who loved, lost, survived, and thrived. He always wanted to help others do the same.
