Obituary of Robert Dana Weaver

He was born April 13, 1932, in Frankfort, Maine to Marco B. and Elizabeth Weaver.  He was the youngest of and last surviving of eight children and this generation of Weavers.  Howard, Beatrice, Harold, Hazel, Bernice, Raymond and Wilmer predeceased him. 

Bob was a devoted family man and hard worker.  He worked at numerous jobs growing up. He worked at Truitt Bros shoe factory for 15 years and cut pulp wood off his woodlot nights and weekends for extra money.  He loved to hunt on his woodlot and spent many Novembers staying on the land in his camper. He married Jacqueline Roberts in January 1952; they celebrated 55 years of marriage before she passed. They settled in Monroe and started their family before moving to Belfast in 1968 where he and Jackie bought and operated The Dairy Cup for over thirty years. 

He is survived by his four daughters and their spouses, Rose Walker and Keith Bemis of Etna, Doreen and Fred Littlefield, Pamela and Timothy Merry, Sharon and Larry Peavey, all of Swanville, 9 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great grandchildren, and special nephews Larry and Gary Weaver.

He was predeceased by his wife, Jackie, his son, Claude, and Doreen’s twin, baby girl Deborah.

The family thanks the team of Gentiva Hospice for their loving care of our dad.  Because of them, Dad was able to be exactly where he wanted to be, home.  They loved him and he them.  In his last days, he would hear their voices and be reaching out for them. Their gentleness with him will never be forgotten. 

A funeral service will be held Friday, June 28, at 11:00 AM, at Swanville Community Church on Town House Road, Swanville, with a committal to follow at Greenlawn Cemetery in Swanville.
