Steven

(R.)

Weber

Obituary

On September 16, Steven Weber, 69, of West Hartford, slipped away while at the shore on his favorite couch, watching his favorite team, the NY Yankees. Born November 23, 1942 to Helen (Schrieber) and Julius Weber in Orange, NJ, Steve grew up in Verona, NJ as the older brother to sisters Susan Kobitz (Wellington, FL) and Bonnie Glazer (West Hartford, CT). Steve began playing the saxophone in the 5th grade and quickly became a member of the marching band, which enabled him to earn a college scholarship. Upon graduation from the University of Baltimore, Steve was soon on his way to Hartford in 1967 for the “perfect job.” It was then when he began his life’s work. Steve started his own business in 1971, Compass, Inc., which was a leader in the recruiting and programming development business. Steve subsequently started Programming Resources Company as he saw the opportunity to leverage his contacts and the computer programming community around Hartford. PRC branched out to include insurance software development and was incredibly successful. Programming Resources Company was sold to Equifax in 1994, and Steve stayed on for a few years before “retiring” and pursuing business interests akin to his entrepreneurial spirit. He was a doer – no grass ever grew under his feet, he was always on the move, whether by car, foot, or bicycle. Steve was a people person – he demanded perfection and got it; he was private and individual, but above all, loving, kind and generous. Steve never said no to anyone who needed help and many would say he changed their lives. He leaves to mourn his passing his wife of 35 years Betty; his son Jay and wife Amy (Latour) of Charlotte, NC; and his grandchildren Evan and Alexa Weber, whom he adored and made every effort to see as often as he could. Steven also leaves behind his sisters, Susan and Bonnie (Jeffrey); and many other loving nieces and nephews. Steven leaves behind too many close friends to list, each of whom would have their own story to tell, their own moment when Steve surprised them with something wonderful and special, or when he was simply available to listen. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, September 20, 2012 in the Chapel of the Weinstein Mortuary, 640 Farmington Ave., Hartford with Rabbi Michael Pincus officiating. Interment will follow in the Fairview Cemetery, 200 Whitman Avenue, West Hartford. Services will be held at his home from 5 to 8. The family will also be receiving friends 7 to 9:30 Saturday and Sunday. For further information, directions, or to sign the guest book for Steven, please visit the Weinstein Mortuary online at www.weinsteinmortuary.com. Contributions may be made to the charity of your choice or to the American Heart Association , Sloan Kettering Cancer Hospital in NYC, or Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center at Hartford Hospital, C/O Dr. Peter Schauer.

Betty, Bonnie, Jeffrey,Susan, Jay, Erica, Melissa, Lynne and Andy,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of my cousin Steven. Needless to say, I was shocked and saddened to hear about it. Mere words cannot express the admiration I had for him, both as a businessman and as a family man. He was one of the good guys.
I will never forget him taking me in his porsche from Bonnie's house to his house to check on the dog due to an impending storm. We made a call from the car. That was unheard of back then. It was definitely very cool.
Much love and hugs,
Dale

I met Steve in 1975 when I worked at the Aetna in personnel. I hired many data processing people from him as he always represented quality candidates. 5 years later he hired me as a recruiter and I stayed with him for 8 yrs, until he sold the business.
When I met him he was driving a Corvette, but I told him to consider a Porsche which he did and ended up with a BMW as well, always the most pristine cars in town.
I will miss having lunch with him as we did many times after he sold the Company. He was a great friend.

Jay and Family,

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Your father's obituary told me a lot of about the man that was your father, your children's grandfather and your mother's husband. Family is very important to me and I can tell it was very important to him. My own father passed away suddenly and it was not easy to endure for my family. Please know that your father has left behind a legacy that will continue on throughout the ages. Please let me know if there is anything you and your family need. Again, I will keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts. Kindest regards, Lisa Vliet

While I only met Mr. Weber a few times it was easy to see what a warm and kind person he was. The love of his son and grandchildren was palpable. He raised a wonderful son in Jay so I am sure he was a truly wonderful man. Our condolences to the entire Weber family.

Yes, Steve did go out of his way for friends. I am one out of many of his friends that can attest to that fact.
I remember the time I had a flat tire and Steve helped me out. He not only took me back to my car but also called all the necessary people for me that needed to be contacted Inorder for my car to be fixed. Steve loved cars. The last time we went out to dinner, all I had to do was say car and Steve was on a roll conversing about one of his favorite subjects......CARS

Dear Betty & Bonnie,

I just learned of Steve's passing. Steve and I were friends for many years going back to when we first joined Suburban Swim Club. Steve and Jay would come up to Suburban on Sunday morning for softball. Steve was always very proud of Jay. I remember Steve's red Porche that he loved to drive. More recently, we would run into each other at Whole Foods during lunch and he would tell me about his pizza business. We are very sorry for your loss and wish you the best at this sad time.
