Gerald A. “Moe” Weaver, age 83, of Kennard-Atlantic Rd., Sugar Grove Twp., passed away Monday afternoon, May 1, 2017 in UPMC Horizon Greenville.
Moe was born in Greenville on December 7, 1933 to Norman J. and Alice A. (Schmidt) Weaver. He was a 1951 graduate of Penn High School and had been employed at Salem Tube Corp. and the former Greenville Steel Car. In addition, he was the owner/operator of Greenville Sharpening for over 20 years.
He was a member of Kennard United Methodist Church and had also attended Bethany Presbyterian Church in Mercer. Moe was an avid hunter and fisherman, and as a welder, he took great pride in designing and creating machines and other industrial items.
On April 11, 1981 he married Geraldine E. (Gruber) Vernon, she survives at home. Also surviving are two daughters, Geri Anne Williams and her husband Paul of Fredonia and Jill K. Weaver and her companion, John Gresh of Pittsburgh; a son John C. Weaver and his wife Nikki of Greenville; two step-children, Brian D. Vernon and his wife Laura of Butler, and Valerie S. Vernon-Thomas and her husband Sean of Grove City; a brother James N. Weaver and his wife Betty of Reading, PA and nine grandchildren, Jeremiah Williams, Johnmichael Weaver, Jackson Weaver, Gianna Weaver, Rachel Vernon, Alaina Thomas, Holly Vernon, Erica Vernon, and Anwen Thomas.

Memorial contributions may be made to Bethany Presbyterian Church, 100 W. Venango St., Mercer, PA 16173.
To the weaver family, you are in my thoughts and prayers, my deepest sympathy.
I’m so glad Moe called me just a few weeks ago. We had a pleasant conversation and he sounded sort of up beat but maybe he knew things were winding down. He was one of my dad’s favorites and I gathered that the feeling was reciprocated. He always invited me to stop to visit when in Greenville but I never made it–and probably I’ll not be in Greenville again. Moe was a good friend and just about the only male classmate who stayed in Greenville and maintained contact with me. Our ranks get thinner. Who will be next?
Please accept my warm wishes, sympathy and support. —Carter
I am so glad I took my mother, Rosemary Straub, to Perkins in Greenville, just a couple weeks ago to have lunch with some Ole friends, Leland and Geri Dick, Sally Smith, and Pat Smock. Moe came over to our table to speak to Mom. She was very excited, it had been decades since they had seen each other. Moe was the best man in my parents wedding, Charles and Rosemary Straub, in Warren, OH, on Feb. 19, 1955. My Dad passed on March 24, 1994. We would like to express our sincere sympathy to the family.
Geri, Jill, and John,
We are so sorry to not be with you at this time. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
We have fond memories of your dad and we know he will be greatly missed.
We are very sorry for your loss.
Sending our love to you —
so sorry to learn More has gone. You have my deepest sympathy
Geri and family,
I just learned of Moe’s passing. I always enjoyed talking with him over the years. He was a good man and a good friend. My sympathy to all.
Joan and Dallas Wentling Dallas always enjoyed Moe, but I only got to know him when Gerry was our great church organist. He was such a friendly guy as well. I appreciated his sharpening skills for our garden tools too.
Special thoughts to John and his siblings and their families.
Geri, sorry to hear about your daddy’s passing. Hope you are well.
