Albert Ray Weber

Albert Ray Weber, 88 of Mesa, Arizona, formerly of La Salle, passed away March 25, 2017 at his home. Albert was born February 20, 1929 to Carl and Mary (Kindsfater) Weber of Severance, CO. He attended grade school north of Severance at Smith School and completed his later years of schooling in Windsor, CO. Growing up on a family farm in Severance, he developed his hard work ethic and loyalty to family and friends. Following his two-year service in the Army, he worked for Hensel Phelps in construction for two years and then returned to farming for many years.

In 1976, he retired from farming but continued to work in the outdoors for Eastman Kodak in Ground Maintenance for 15 years. He retired from Eastman Kodak in 1991 to start and run an irrigation and sprinkler business during the summer months and operate sugar beet loaders for Western Sugar and Aulick Leasing, until his health problems prohibited him from continuing this work in 2014.

Albert was an avid softball player as a child and young adult and later coached 4-H softball in adulthood. He enjoyed bowling, playing pool, dancing, and traveling. He loved his family deeply and took great pride in his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Always very gracious and generous to others, Albert’s company and presence was enjoyed by many. He will be greatly missed for his infectious smile and teasing nature.
