Barry L. “Pappy” Weit, 79, of Lititz, died peacefully on Saturday, June 10, 2023 at the Lancaster General Hospital. Born in Lancaster, he was the son of the late A. Roy Weit and the late Margaret Ulrich Weit Weller and the stepson of the late Dorothy L. “Dot” Kreider Weit. Pappy was the loving husband of Donna L. Stoyanovitch Weit and they would have observed their 59th wedding anniversary in November of this year.

He was a faithful and active member of Brunnerville United Methodist Church, where he served on the Pastor Parish Relations Committee, and as an usher.

Pappy loved rooting for his favorite baseball team, the New York Yankees and cheering on both Derek Jeter and Aaron Judge. He was the “Family Dog Whisperer”, and he treasured the time he could help out caring for the dogs as his family went away on vacations.
