Jack was born to John & Mary (Lemon) Weber of Maxwell, NE on June 29, 1929 and grew up on the Haythorn Ranch north of Maxwell.

Jack married Catherine Simons of Merriman, Ne in 1950 and the couple raised six children on various Air Force bases in the US and Europe. Jack & Cathy met in 1948 in Cathy’s hometown of Merriman, NE. Jack was in town with his sister Barbara visiting their aunt and uncle. Jack had danced all night with another girl, at the end of the night Jack approached Cathy and asked if he could walk her home. Cathy thought, well this crazy guy danced with another girl all night and now he wants to walk me home. She asked him about the other girl, Jack replied, “What girl? That girl over there? That’s my sister!” Jack loved to dance and Cathy always said he was a “beautiful dancer.” Jack and Cathy would have celebrated their 68th wedding Anniversary this December. “Our Grandpa taught us everything we know about fishing, he taught us to laugh more, work harder and smile brighter. He was always willing to listen to the goofy stories we had. Learning from him was always one of those times we would stay quiet and absorb what he was saying. We'll remember your lessons grandpa. We won’t forget them.” Written by Kyle Weber, grandson, and believed by all of Jacks grandchildren.
