George P. Weseman

December 23, 1924 — August 4, 2020

George P. Weseman 12-23-1924 ~ 8-4-2020

The writer Henry David Thoreau once said, “The language of friendship is not words but meanings.” George was a true friend in every sense to everyone. He understood that being there for others was part of being human, and death is not something that can ever break that relationship. George's family encourages all reading this to be a friend to anyone, and by doing so, you keep George’s spirit alive in a world that desperately needs love and compassion. Simply put, George's light will forever shine in the actions of his friends

George is survived by his children, Jeff of Leland, IL, Janet (Jeff) Gilbert of Batavia, IL, Judith Willett of Wheaton, IL and Ken (Ann) Weseman of Wheaton, IL; his grandchildren, Bob (Mary) Schmidt, Michael Schmidt, Kim (Paul) Obutusin, Adam (Melanie) Gilbert, Stefanie (Nate) DeMont, Bradley (Amanda) Nelson, Benjamin Willett, Lauren (Nick) Willett, Dana (John) Willett, Laura (Ben) Slater, Kevin Slater, and Hannah Weseman; Eight Great Grandchildren; Brother James (Lorraine) Weseman of Lombard, IL and Cheryl (Dennis) Li Causi of Plainfield, IL.
He now joins his wife, JoAnn, daughter Carole, one son Gregory, granddaughter Lynlee Gilbert and his second wife, Therese and family that had pre deceased him.

Dad retired from Topps Chewing Gum after 42 years as #1 Salesman. He reared his children in a not so strict Catholic home, loved by many will be eternally grateful that he was our Dad.
