George Joseph Weber, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and great-uncle returned to the loving arms of his Heavenly Father on February 11, 2022, at the age of 89. George is survived by his devoted wife of nearly 70 years, Patricia; five children Steve (Jean) Weber, Cheri (Bob) Nickolaus, Tammy (Dan) Stankey, Terry (Paul) Flaker, and John Weber; 12 grandchildren Brad Weber; Jodi (Gary) Luaders, Eric (Andrea) Weber, Michael (Theresa) Nickolaus, Kyle (Katlyn) Nickolaus, Krystn (Ian) Edwards, Evangeline (Ryan) Fanger, Erika (Mitch) Hill, Kevin (McKenzie) Flaker, Ellen Flaker, and Abigail and Samantha Weber. He also is the proud great-grandfather of seven children, including Cora, Walter and Otto Weber; Madelyn and Joey Nickolaus; Corey and Avery Luaders, and has many nephews, nieces and great-nieces and nephews. George was preceded in death by his sister, Dorothy (Weber) Schultheis, and his parents, George Charles and Hazel (Faudi) Weber.
After marrying Patricia D. Bigham in 1952 and serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, he became a parent at age 23. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education (Industrial Arts), and later a Master of Arts in Guidance Counseling. He began his career at Mehlville High School as an industrial arts teacher, then opened Oakville Middle School’s industrial arts classroom, finally becoming a guidance counselor for Oakville Middle School. George was a life-long learner and full of advice for his children and grandchildren, including: “measure twice, cut once;” “now, wait-a minute;” and “you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.” He loved the outdoors, floating the Current River and Jack’s Fork, taking long automobile trips across the U.S. and eating German potato salad.
He was active in church both in St. Louis at St. Johns United Church of Christ, and near Table Rock Lake at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church and its second location, Hideaway Church.. He was a volunteer firefighter and avid woodworker. He married the love of his life early and never looked back!
His memory will be honored through a visitation from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 21 at Kutis Funeral Home (5255 Lemay Ferry Rd. St Louis, MO 63129) and a funeral service at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb 22 at St. Johns United Church of Christ (11333 St. Johns Church Rd., St. Louis, MO 63123).

I have so many memories of the times when George and my husband worked together on their little projects. Visited with George about a month ago and revisited some of those adventures. Went to my car, prayed, cried, and knew God would keep him for us to meet again.

Our hearts are filled with sadness at the loss of our good friend and buddy. He fought the fight to the end. We will miss him greatly and our hearts are filled with memories of the many adventures we shared with George and Patty. His saying, “now, wait a minute” is so relevant to his being. We have shared countless journeys with George and Patty from which we will now draw from in the years to come. We send endless love to Patty, Steve and Jean, Cheri and Bob, Tammy and Dan, Terry and Paul, John and all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We give thanks to the Lord who blessed us with the friendship of George and Patty for 69years. We consider ourselves so blessed to have walked thru life with them. Rich & Alice Dailing

Steven, Cheri, Tammy, Terry & John,
After I heard of your Dad’s passing, I began to think of growing up as next door neighbors and all of the “George Stories.” I will remember your Dad with fondness. He was after all, my Dad’s project and tool buddy. I’m happy to know that he had a nice, long life filled with family and activities that he loved.
