JAMES (JIM) FREDERICK WEILER, beloved husband of Cheryl Weiler of Lethbridge, was taken from us suddenly on January 21, 2011. He is survived by his loving wife Cheryl of 43 years, daughter Sheri (Paul Tichler) and their sons Christian (CJ) and Bradlee, son Vince (Heather) and their sons Robbie and Joey and mother Juliet Weiler all of Lethbridge; sister Marilynne Tremel of Lethbridge, brother Gerry (Jane) Weiler of Vancouver, B.C., brother David (Cynthia) Weiler of Calgary, sister Betty Weiler of Melbourne, Australia, brother Bill (Maria) Weiler of Lethbridge, sister-in-law Joan Ingoldsby of Lethbridge and many nieces and nephews. Jim is predeceased by his father, Frederick Weiler in 2005 and his premature son, Douglas Kent in 1967.
Jim was a Journeyman Sheet Metal Worker, a handyman, a perfectionist in all he did. His creativity and artistry was evident in his work, including designing and building a drone aircraft used by Canadian Forces Base Suffield. He enjoyed building remote control planes some to 1/4 scale and flew them in his free time at the flying field and at various Fun Fly’s. His imagination could weave an amazing tale, and people enjoyed his wry sense of humor. He will be deeply missed.
