Lyonsdale- Arnold Weber, 86, of Rumble Road, husband of Judith, passed away peacefully, at his residence while under the loving care of his wife, family and Hospice. Arnold was born in the Town of Lyonsdale, on June 1, 1934, a son of Sidney and Doris Hubbard Weber. He grew up Lyonsdale where he received his education until while in high school he found employment as a handyman at The Waldheim Resort at Big Moose. When his summer employment at Waldheim Resort expanded to a year round position, Arnold attended the Town of Webb Union Free School, Old Forge, where he graduated with the Class of 1954. On July 2, 1955, Arnold was united in marriage with Judith E. Brooks at the Congregational Church, Port Leyden. This was a loving union that continued for nearly 66 years. After their marriage the couple constructed a home on Pearl St. Port Leyden, where they resided until 1967, when they purchased the Weber Convalescent Home on Quarry St. Port Leyden, which was founded many years earlier by Arnold's parents. Afterwards the name was changed to the Weber Adult Home, which Arnold and Judy operated for 17 years, until 1984, when their son, Matt purchased the adult home which he has continued to operate. In 1983, Arnold and Judy constructed their home on Rumble Road, where they since have resided.

Arnold was a member of Calvary Bible Church of Greig, a member of the Port Leyden Cemetery Board and a member of Old North Patriot Group of Lyons Falls, an organization dedicated to educating citizenry on the U.S. Constitution.
