Gerald G. Weberg

Gerald
“Jerry” George Weberg, age 77, of Fond du Lac, WI, passed away Sunday, February
23, 2020 at his home. He was born on July 29, 1942 in Escanaba, MI as the only
child to George R. and Norma L. (Wickstrom) Weberg and grew up in Ensign,
Michigan.

 

After
Jerry’s 1960 graduation from Rapid River High School in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan, he attended Northern Michigan University where he earned his
Bachelor’s degree. He moved to Fond du Lac, WI in 1965 to start his career in
the Technical Education Department at Goodrich High School where he primarily
taught woodworking classes, but also automotive, drafting, and machine shop
until he retired in 1998. In addition, Jerry worked many summers at Vulcan
Manufacturing and later at Manowske Welding Supply. 

 

He is
survived by his daughter, Tamara Weberg of Kimberly, WI, and his daughter
Michelle Tesch and son-in-law Bryan Tesch of Appleton, WI. He is further
survived by three grandchildren Aaron and Emily Tesch, David Valadez, his
former wife and friend, Dianne Koehler, as well as many members of Dianne’s
family who he considered his own. He was preceded in death by his parents.

 

Many
who knew Jerry called him “Weebs”, and will remember him as a very outgoing,
talkative, gentle man who always had a story to share and advice to give. He
was very proud of his daughters and grandchildren and enjoyed attending their
activities and watching their performances. His hobbies included woodworking,
hunting, working on cars, taking photographs and spending time with his
children, grandchildren and his dogs. He was also a skilled craftsman, working
on all aspects of the carpentry, plumbing, electrical, roofing, drywall, garage
construction and cement work for his family home. He could fix just about
anything and often shared his skills and talents with others.
