OUR STAFF
ROBERT C. WEIR, SR.
Founder / Funeral Director
Robert (Bob)Weir Sr, served in the Army then graduated from Eckles School of Mortuary Science in Philadelphia and was the owner of a funeral home from 1950 until his death in 1991. He served as the coroner in Lehigh County from 1963-1988. Bob was known to console families with his professionalism and compassion. He was very caring and compassionate with families dealing with any death including children and suicides. He was known to be prompt in arriving at the scene of the accidents on highways so the traffic could resume and the person could be removed to the funeral home. He continued with his compassion towards families throughout his lifetime understanding the importance of a grieving family.
Bob and his wife, Mary (Milchanowski) were offered St Catharine’s rectory at 18th & Turner Sts. by Msgr. Mc Mullan in 1957. Bob and his wife purchased the property and the renovations began. Demolishing the walls began for the new viewing rooms. The rear porch was removed and the basement dirt floor was prepared for concrete. After Bob and Mary completed the painting and wallpapering which was a family event, the funeral home was then ready. Bob was always designing a new project for the home.
