William Weir

William Michael Weir passed away gently on December 20th, 2025. Our family has been very close knit. We love Bill deeply and cherish the times when we sat at dinner and laughed tears at something that he said. Bill was compassionate, loving, kind and fun.

As a young businessman, he co-chaired a United Way Charity Fund Drive, business division, and began a lifelong desire to assist in charitable giving. Bill worked to encourage a unified effort on the part of different types of financial advisors: accountants, attorneys and financial investment advisors towards the goal of charitable use of legacy monies in estate settlement. He believed in the force of combined knowledge to increase charitable giving. This idea formed the consortium of Planned Giving of Western New York to which he co-chaired. Bill also served as president of the South Buffalo Mercy Foundation Board for several years.

Our family loved to travel and spend time skiing together on winter weekends. Bill took beautiful artistic photographs of scenic locations and of family and friends. Photography was one of Bill's favorite hobbies as well as the care and use of antique boats.

The legacy that he leaves us is his fun-loving spirit and compassion for others. We miss our patriarch. Bill is survived by his wife of 61 years, Joan (Halversen) Weir, and two loving sons; Jonathon David Weir and Stephen Roy Weir, as well as 6 wonderful grandchildren.

A visitation will be held on Friday, January 16th from 4-7 PM at the F.E Brown Sons Funeral Home, 6575 E. Quaker Street, Orchard Park, NY. A Service of Celebration will be held on Saturday, January 17th at 10 AM in the Orchard Park Presbyterian Church, 4369 S. Buffalo Street, Orchard Park, NY 14127.
