MAJOR
(RETIRED)
LEWIS
PHILIP WEBER, CD
It is with profound
regret that we announce the sudden death of our beloved husband, dad, and best
friend, Lewis Philip Weber on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 in Winnipeg, Manitoba
at the age of 79 years. Lewis will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by
his surviving wife of 55 years, Mary (Watters), his children Lew (Wendy), Carla
(Andy), Mark (Lisa), and Todd (Janette), and his seven grandchildren Alex,
Andrew, Ben, Katie, Kylie, Holly, and Adam.
From humble beginnings
Dad has always risen to life`s challenges and adventures and well exceeded the
bar set for him. Joining the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) as an Air Traffic
Controller Dad spent many years guiding wayward pilots safely home through good
weather and bad. The ATC crest centrepiece is the shepherd`s crook which is a
symbol of care.
The crook was used
for balance, guidance, and keeping the flock safe from the dangers of life. How
true this held for his role of father to our family. Hallmarks of Dad`s
character had been a peaceful strength and a genuine caring regard for all. Dad
had always exemplified hard work, faith, and, above all, service to his family.
A strong role model for his children in his character and his marriage, Dad had
in return been blessed with the love and devotion of his beautiful wife
Mary. We all have been deeply nurtured
and guided in the time we have had with Dad and the world and character of his
children and grandchildren are the better for it. We are only consoled by the
fact that God has called him home and we will be reunited with Dad in due time.
Dad well exemplified the RCAF motto `Per
Ardua Ad Astra` which translates to `Through
Adversity to the Stars`. Enjoy your days fully, love your dear ones
unconditionally, and hug them often. Our hearts are breaking yet full, thanks
to the life of this good man.

efforts of the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service for their quick response and
strong efforts.
