William Lloyd "Bill" Weber III

William "Bill" Lloyd Weber III, 83 years old, went to be with his Heavenly Father on October 26, 2025. Born in St. Anthony, Idaho, he was the oldest child of William L. Weber Jr., and Ruth Almira Johnson Weber. He was preceded by his parents, wife Musette, daughter Suzanne, and brother Wilford.
Bill's family lived in three Idaho towns, and he was active in high school sports and band. He attained the rank of Eagle Scout and fully participated in the Preston Idaho Presbyterian Church. He was mechanically gifted; a trait he honed over a lifetime.
Bill attended Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah and enlisted in the US Navy in 1962. During a tour of duty in Monterey, CA, he met and fell in love with Musette Raper. They were married in 1964 and inseparable until her death in 2014.
Bill served in various Navy commands and advanced to the rank of Petty Officer First Class. He was selected for the prestigious Navy Enlisted Scientific Program (NESEP), earning a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at North Carolina State University (NCSU). In 1970, he was commissioned as a Naval Officer and served 20 years with duties on destroyers and amphibious ships. Bill was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, and numerous unit awards, retiring in 1982 with the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
In his post-military career, he worked as an electrical engineer in government contractor positions. Bill worked many years at TDS as an electronic engineer before fully retiring in 2002. Musette and Bill traveled extensively on cruises throughout Europe and the Caribbean and were always planning their next trip. Their backyard swimming pool was a summer gathering place for family and friends.
Bill used his engineering skills at King's Grant Presbyterian Church (KGPC) where he knew every inch of the building and property and kept meticulous records of completed projects and a "to do" list of actions. He was a faithful member of KGPC where he served as an elder and member of the Property Ministry. He generously gave his time and finances to support the NCSU NESEP Program. Bill was a dedicated Virginia Beach Meals on Wheels driver and delivery man, making many friends over the years. A staunch patriot for his country, he loved discussions about our nation's future.
Bill is survived by his son Bill, sister Ann Whitlatch, and nieces Hilary and Morgan Whitlatch. His close friends and "grandchildren of choice" include: Mark Johnstone, Ashley Waltington, Serena Johnstone, Nathan Johnstone, Michael Johnstone, Michelle Johnstone, and Kristi Zeller.
Services will be held at King's Grant Presbyterian Church, 745 Little Neck Road, Virginia Beach on Sunday, November 16, 2025 at 1:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, donations in Bill's memory maybe made to the Virginia Beach Meals on Wheels or the Food Bank of Southeastern Virginia.
