A. Bruce Weikel, of Hilltown Twp., PA, passed away Saturday, April 11, 2026, at his home. He was 72.

            He was the loving husband of Gretchen L. (Guenther) Weikel. The couple would have celebrated their 46th Wedding Anniversary on April 12, 2026.

            Born in Abington, PA, he was the son of the late H. Calvin and Doris L. (Lamont) Weikel. A 1972 graduate of Pennridge High School, Perkasie, PA, he earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Kutztown University, Kutztown, PA, in 1976, and, later, his Master’s Degree in Education from Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA.
