Obituary for George Ronald Weisgerber





My first memory of Mr. Weisgerber was working on the new Westminster High School construction site in 1971. I was working for Tom Senseney Landscaping. It was fascinating to talk with him. He had an amazing mind. He was among a number of great examples that I met growing-up in Westminster - that it is not good enough to be the best – you have to be nice. Mr. Weisgerber was a really-really nice man. 

Family and friends may call at Pritts Funeral Home, 412 Washington Road, Westminster, MD 21157 on Wednesday July 29 from 1:00 - 4:00 and 6:00 – 8:00 pm.

The funeral will be held at Grace Lutheran Church, 21 Carroll Street, Westminster at 11:00 am on Thursday July 30. Interment will follow at Meadow Branch Cemetery.
