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.
