David O. Weber, 72, of 240 E. Harding Ave., Ironwood, Mich., our beloved father and grandfather, passed away Thursday, Sept, 9, 2010, at St. Mary's Medical Center in Duluth.      He was born during a snowstorm at St. Mary's Hospital in Oshkosh, Wis. on Dec. 15, 1937, son of the late Harry and Margaret Weber. He attended both Milwaukee Lutheran and Custer High School in Milwaukee and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee while working fulltime at Allen Bradley to support his family. After college, he moved his family to Park Falls, Wis. to work for the United States Forest Service. He located to Ironwood in 1973 and continued to work for the US Forest Service until he retired 35 years later.      His accolades won't be found in history books, legends or myths but in the lives of those he touched. He was the caretaker of his family, his parents, wife, children and grandchildren. He never failed to help: scout leader, little league coach, civic volunteer and hockey volunteer. He fought forest fires with the US Forest Service, was a wonderful writer, and a masterful practical joker who loved classical music and was one of the owners of the Old World Meats Market in Ironwood.      David is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Judith Weber; three sons, Jon (Pam) Weber of Hayward, Wis., Matthew (Georgia) Weber of Ironwood, and David (Barbara) Weber of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.; his daughter, Sara Weber, of Ironwood; and his beloved grandchildren, Jeremiah, Cassandra, Nicole, Ashley, Noel, Matthew, Lauren and Davey Weber.      At the family's request, cremation has taken place.      Memorial services will be held Wednesday, Sept. 15, at 11 a.m., at the McKevitt-Patrick Funeral Home, 305 N. Lowell St., in Ironwood, with the Rev.
