Ernest J. Weber, age 79, formerly from Collegeville, Pa., and a resident most recently of Gilbertsville, Pa., passed away on July 1, 2017, at Parkhouse Nursing and Rehab Center with family by his side.

Born November 20, 1937, to the late Walter Gotlieb Weber and Dorothy Peart Weber. He was predeceased by siblings, Walter J., John (Jack) P. and Charlene Weber Koski.

He was the treasured husband of Juli (Weitzen) and beloved father of Iris Tonti (Aldo) of Hamilton Square, N.J.; Cynthia Stratis (Ted) of Hamilton Square, N.J.; and Denise Leonard (Ray) of Robbinsville, N.J., and grandchildren Aldo, Jr., Emily, Mackenzie, and Samantha. He was also survived by many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He enjoyed driving many, many, many miles, especially with Weber Trucking tractor trailer, and as a member of Teamsters Local 107. He worked at several local businesses including Powerhouse Antiques and Sales, 309 Office Furniture, Sears Roebuck/Signal Delivery Service and J&J Tire.

Ernie enjoyed gardening and love of family and friends. He loved his pets dearly. He enjoyed working! During his last year and a half, he was at two different nursing home; at least two practitioners said they never saw anyone work so hard to get better. He endured much with overlapping illnesses and continued to smile and pray and encourage others. Ernie was a loved man.
