TROY- Theodore Lewis “Ted” Weaver, 81, of East Troy, PA went to be with his Lord on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 from his home surrounded by his family. He was the loving husband of Beverly (Van Noy) Weaver. The couple married November 24, 1955 and had 57 happy years together. Ted was born on October 17, 1931 in Elmira, NY, son of the late Rev. Franklin J. and Agnes (Richardson) Weaver. He was a graduate of Elmira Free Academy, Class of 1949, and a 1953 graduate of Pennsylvania Technical College with a degree in Metallurgy. Ted was a US Army veteran, serving his country in Korea. After his time in the service and college, Ted became a Metallurgist for Sylvania GTE in Towanda for 30 years until his retirement in 1986.
