Hans Weber, age 92, of Neillsville, WI, died on Monday, September 10, 2018 at the Neillsville Care and Rehab Center.

Hans was born on December 26, 1925 in Switzerland the son of Ernst and Frieda (Moser) Weber. After completing his schooling in Switzerland, he served several years in the Swiss Army. On November 29, 1948 he was united in marriage to Sophie Paula Wiederkehr. Hans worked numerous years as a cabinet maker in Switzerland. It was Hans’ dream to own a dairy farm so in 1966 they picked up their family and moved to the United States and bought a farm in the Christie area. Eventually his son, Ralph bought the farm from his dad, but Hans could always find something to help with on the farm. He continued wood working and made numerous pieces of furniture for all of his family. Hans also enjoyed reading and fishing, but he lived his life for his sons and loved when the grandchildren and great grandchildren could all be together. Hans was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville.

Hans was a special caring man and will be missed by 3 sons, Hanspeter (Roberta) Weber of Kewaskum, WI, Walter (Pam) Weber of Thoma, WI and Ralph (Karen) Weber of Neillsville, WI, 5 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
