Bruce L. Weis Jr., 95, passed away on September 9th, 2024, at his home in Aliquippa. Bruce had been recovering from a recent fall and was looking forward to a full recovery. He was born in Hagevo, a vanished coal town near Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on February 15, 1929, a son of the late Bruce L Weis and Alverda (Schaffer) Weis.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three children: an infant son, Susan Elaine Johnston and Christopher Andrew Weis, two great granddaughters Audree Johnston and Kinlee Brinn Johnston, four siblings: Dorothy Carolus, Esther Barnes, Norman Weis and Jackson Weis, and his companion Barbara Saul.

Bruce is survived by two sons and daughters in law: Bruce Alan and Tsuyako Sandy Weis and Mark Edward and Marye Catherine Weis, seven grandchildren: Richard Gregory, Kimberly (Kristofer) Grohl, Kristopher (Joannie) Gregory, Patrick Johnston, Arthur (Amanda) Johnston, John (Paige) Johnston and Monica (Chance) Braud, 11 great-grand children, two siblings: Richard (Marylou) Weis and Ruth (Harry) Doyle, numerous nieces and nephews; and his best friend of over 60 years, Jim Farris.

Through perseverance and determination, Bruce made his way to college, graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, becoming part of the Western Pennsylvanian Banking community. Bruce was a retired Regional Vice President of First Seneca Bank, former Treasurer of the University of Pittsburgh (“Golden Panthers”) Alumni association and former President of the Beaver Valley Credit association.

Bruce took a strong interest in political affairs and, having been raised on a farm, could repair nearly anything, and he enjoyed discussing politics or repairs. He loved spending time in his woodshop and, after retirement, he fed and was concerned with the health of most of the cats in the (Plan Six) Aliquippa area.

A memorial service will be held on October 12, 2024 at 11 a.m. in Huntsman Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Aliquippa.
