John P. Weizer

JOHN P. WEIZER age 86, beloved husband for 40 years of the late Kathleen F. (nee Wittig); loving father of Laura Scott (husband Les), Dianne Wagner, Paul, Lisa Sorenson, Michael Sorenson (fiancee Christine Rae),  and Kristin Trujillo (husband Fernie); devoted grandfather of 10 and great grandfather of 3; cherished son of the late Victor and Grace (nee Prange); dearest brother of the late Victor “Bud” (wife Kay); dear uncle and great-uncle of many.

John was born on November 19, 1934 in Cleveland, OH and passed away peacefully on January 16, 2021.  He was a resident of Mayfield Heights for the past 60 years, and resided and grew up in Cleveland Heights prior to that.  He was a 1952 graduate of Cathedral Latin High School, and went on to graduate from John Carroll University in 1956. He then worked as a computer analyst for TRW. As a member of St. Francis of Assisi Church, John was a lecturer and usher.  He also belonged to the Mayfield JCs and the J-Seniors.  John coached baseball and basketball at St. Francis and Mayfield Village Girls Softball, and in his spare time, he enjoyed golfing, yard work, bowling, playing cards, and watching the Cleveland Indians. Described by his family as a hard-working, giving, generous, good man with integrity, he also had a gentle soul, was faithful to his family and church.  He was social, funny, and had a dry sense of humor that will be missed by many.
