Charles E. Weaver, 82, passed away peacefully at his home on December 23rd, 2023, in the company of his loving family.

Born December 24th, 1940, in Greensburg, PA, he was the eldest son of the late Charles O. and Anna (Hensler) Weaver. He was raised in North Irwin and often reminisced of his idyllic small-town childhood. Chuck graduated from Irwin High School in 1958. He attended California State College (PA), where he was a member of the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity and earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics. Initially a Math Teacher, he later obtained a postgraduate Business degree from Duquesne University. He briefly worked as an analyst with US Steel and an Office Manager at Hon Furniture, where he met his wife, Fran. Most of his career was focused on computers and data systems technology. He retired from Highmark Inc. as a Technical Consultant in 2006.

Chuck was a humble man of countless talents. Always well read, he was a trivia savant. He had an uncanny knack for memorizing dates and numbers. He took genuine pride in a well-kept baseball scorebook. His wonderful sense of humor combined sarcasm and wit with sufficient slapstick. He was a handyman in the theoretical sense, beginning many a home project and even finishing a few. In summers, he tended to an abundant garden overflowing with fresh tomatoes and zucchini. Breakfast was his culinary specialty. He fried perfect dippy eggs. Later in life, he developed an affinity for birdwatching. Many quiet days were spent relaxing on the back deck of the family home until sunset; admiring nature and reflecting on a life well lived.

Chuck was a lifelong avid sports fan. He loyally supported all the local Pittsburgh teams. In his youth, he frequented Pirates games at Forbes Field and Three Rivers Stadium. He was particularly passionate about the Steelers and traveled to New Orleans for the team’s first Super Bowl win in 1975. Notre Dame football was a household tradition with autumn Saturdays dedicated to cheering on the Fighting Irish. Golf was his favorite hobby, however. He played in a league at Frosty Valley golf course in Upper St. Clair for many years. Memorably, he once won a brand-new car by hitting a hole-in-one during a charity golf outing.

Above all else, Chuck was a devoted family man. His principle characteristic was his unwavering and unconditional love for his wife of 43 years, Fran. He was a kind and benevolent father, generous with his time and his wisdom. The affection he felt for his grandchildren was so overwhelming it often left him speechless. Chuck was a compassionate man of faith and noble ideals who inspired tremendous admiration from his loved ones.

Chuck is survived by his beloved wife, Frances (Ksiazek) Weaver, whom he married on August 9th, 1980; his two sons, Kenneth and Christian Weaver of Pittsburgh; two grandsons, John Charles “Jack” and James Weaver of Pittsburgh; sister Susanne Weaver of Texas; and sister-in-law Paula (Macabobby) Weaver of Ohio.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Richard D. Weaver.

There are no calling hours or services planned. Chuck was a loving husband, father and ‘grandpap.’ He will be missed dearly and remembered always. Arrangements entrusted to WILLIAM SLATER II FUNERAL SERVICE (412-563-2800) Scott Township.
