John Weber was a rock.
During his six decades living on Whidbey Island, he devoted countless hours to causes near and dear his heart, including a 26-year run as a member of the Coupeville School Board.
Mr. Weber, who was also one of my semi-regular Videoville customers with wife Benye back in the day, passed away in September.
We send our condolences to his family and hail the positive impact he had on our town, which included being the Chairman of the school board when Mickey Clark Field was created in 1975.
