Bruce B. Weimer, 70, Mattoon, died Friday, May 13, 2016 as the result of a brain hemorrhage, at Ministry St. Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfield, and was immediately cradled in the hands of our Lord.
He was born on April 29, 1946 in Milwaukee, the son of the late Alexander and Zola (Jackson) Weimer.
Bruce was a U.S. Army Veteran.
On October 30, 1973, Bruce was united in marriage to Sharon Nolde in Shawano. She preceded him in death on March 21, 2008. Sharon was the love of his life. He missed her deeply and is now with her.
Bruce worked for a time at Harley Davidson and then found his passion in life, rebuilding antique cars. He was a big man with an even bigger heart and would help anyone in need and expect nothing but respect in return. His love for the Lord was his life and God surely must be proud of this humble man.
