    Leon Weaver gave a talk here in England recently at the East Pennines Assembly Hall. He mentioned the 15 July 2010 WT but did not expand on it. I had never heard of him but found a photo of him in 2003 Yearbook and also noted he was mentioned in CoC. Does anyone know anything about him?

    He is a black brother and a Bethel Heavy. He gave a funeral talk for the PO near here more than several years ago. He died of colon cancer, they were very good friends. Thats all I know about him.

    St George, if you can, please post a pic of Leon Weaver here. I do not know what he looks like, but others told me about him.

    Yeah, don't insult Brother Weaver that way.

    He's an older prominent black brother who works in the service dept (last I heard). Used to be CO years ago. He's tight with JR Brown and some other "heavies" at Bethel. He usually has a smile and is a decent speaker. He's married.
