The High School graduation photo of Brad Lee Weaver which was used for a dedication. It reads:
Brad Lee Weaver
February 19, 1954 - August 31, 1971
In memory of a student who was respected and admired by all who knew him. Because his athletic accomplishments equalled (typo in memorial) his outstanding personality, his absence has left a void in our lives -- one that can never be closed again.
Born to Clifton C. Weaver (1926-1968) and Jacqueline Vivienne (Feauve) Weaver (1926-2002) he was an excellent wrestler in high school who lost his life too young in a car accident. He had a sister Kimberly and two brothers Kurt and Robert.
See 3 'Serious' After Fatal Accident for a detailed report about the horrific car accident which appeared in The Morning Call on Thursday September 2nd 1971 below.
I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
