Alfred Weigell

Alfred Charles "Bud" Weigell passed away on November 27, 2014, at Saratoga Tower in Morris. He was 78 years old.

Born on December 16, 1935, in Chicago, Illinois, Bud worked for many years as an over the road truck driver.

After moving to Saratoga Tower in 1996, Bud spent his time enjoying his passion for model railroads. He had an expansive knowledge particularly of the Rock Island and Norfolk & Western railways. Also while at Saratoga Tower, he quietly invested in the happiness of his fellow residents by purchasing live Christmas trees for them, and providing outdoor swings with which they could enjoy during nice weather.

Bud is survived by his family of choice, the residents and staff of the Grundy County Housing Authority.

A memorial service for Alfred Charles "Bud" Weigell will be held in the Community Room of Saratoga Tower, 1700 Newton Place, Morris, Illinois, on Wednesday, December 10, 2014, at 3:00 p.m. The Rev. Dr. Roy C. Backus will officiate. Everyone is invited to attend.

Consistent with Bud's wishes, memorials may be made in Bud's name to the Saratoga Tower Resident Council, c/o Nancy Murley, President, 1700 Newton Place; Apt. 616; Morris, IL 60450.
