Charles H. Weaver, 88 of Toledo, Ohio passed away on Thursday, October 18, 2012 at Heartland of Oregon. He was born on March 29, 1924 in San Antonio, Texas to Henry Weaver and Pamposa Sanchez. He moved to 'œel Norte' at age 23 where he worked for Schmidt Meat Packing House until the company closed 18 years later. After that, he worked for AP Parts until he retired. He was a self taught skilled plumber and carpenter. He attributed his ability to fix just about anything to his upbringing in the Ranch, where people were poor but didn'™t know it and lived off the land where nothing went to waste. Charlie was a founding member of the Organization of Latin'™s United of Toledo where he served as president for nearly 20 years. Charlie brought the organization to its peak of success. It was through his leadership, dedication and hard work that the organization was able to purchase a small shoe shop which was converted to a bar that grew to contain a hall and parking. At the end of his presidency, the club had no debts, owned all its properties free and clear and had plenty of savings for educational scholarships and maintenance of its facilities on South St. Clair St. He helped fund, assemble and distribute Thanksgiving food baskets every year through the organization. He was a long time volunteer for St. Peter and Paul Church Festival. He volunteered and supported many Democratic political candidates, such as Judge Joseph Flores, Louis Escobar and Anita Lopez. Charlie loved Latino family history and enjoyed filming all family and community events for posterity. He enjoyed story telling as well as listening to stories told by other Latinos who settled in Toledo and its surrounding area. He enjoyed dressing up with his Texas cowboy hats, vests and boots. He loved to play golf and listen to traditional classic Ranchera Mexican songs. He was preceded in death by his wife, Lucy Weaver. Charlie leaves behind his daughter, Diane (Mark) Fangman; son, Bruce (Patricia) Weaver; grandsons, Michael and Kevin Turnow, Bruce C., John and Steve Weaver; great-grandchildren, Brandon and Hunter Turnow, Sofia, Solana, Salah and John Weaver. Charlie was loved and respected by many of Toledo'™s Latino Community and will be greatly missed by all. Friends may visit at the Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home, Oregon Chapel, 440 S.
