Weiser, Herbert

Portsmouth

Weiser, Herbert M., 93, passed away on September 16, 2024, at the Silver Creek Rehab & Healthcare Center in Bristol. Born in Providence, a son of the late Phillip and Rose (Norman) Weiser, he lived in Bristol for forty-six years. Herbert was a graduate of Hope High School in Providence and was able to connect with everyone he met through his great sense of humor. He was a lifelong avid fan of New England sports; he was unwaveringly loyal to the Boston Red Sox. His greatest pleasure in life was good company and good food, whether surf and turf or a matzo ball soup, he was happy to share a meal and a laugh with any one of his many friends.

Herbert was a Korean Conflict Army veteran, serving overseas in the early 1950’s, he served with distinction and earning an honorable discharge, decorated with the Combat Infantry badge, Korean Service Medal with a Bronze Service Star, the United Nations Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal.

He was an installer for a local flooring company which served the entire state for many, many years; later he became involved in local real estate. These paths encouraged him to be the eccentric and extroverted man that his family knew and loved, it was not often that Herbert could go out anywhere without knowing, stopping and catching up with at least one person. When he relocated to an assisted living facility, he was quickly referred to as “the mayor”, seemingly knowing everyone who came into the building, he was friendly and funny. “Herbie” as he was affectionately known, had a zest for life and loved every minute he spent with his people and his community, he leaves behind many, many friends from all over Rhode Island and the world.

Devoted father of Melissa Weiser-Rose and her husband, Michael, of Denver, CO. He was a warm and loving presence to his nephew, Paul Schwartz, of Cumberland, RI. Aside from his parents, he was predeceased by his siblings, Milton, Harold, and Florence Weiser.
