Michael A. "Woody" Weil

Fort Hunter - Michael A. "Woody" Weil, 69, passed away peacefully on August 2, 2026, with his loving family by his side. Born on March 25, 1957, in Amsterdam, he was the son of the late Alfred and Kathleen “Kay” Weil. Michael was the devoted husband of Antonina S. Weil. Together, they shared 32 wonderful years, building a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

A skilled welder and metal fabricator, Michael dedicated his career to Ross Precision Manufacturing. His exceptional craftsmanship contributed to projects in aerospace, defense, and power generation, with many notable endeavors throughout the years. Michael took great pride in his work and was highly respected by colleagues and friends.

Above all else, Michael treasured his family, whom he loved fiercely, and the simple joys in life. A man of few true passions, he enjoyed spending time working out, watching college basketball, and cheering on his favorite sports teams- especially the New York Giants and New York Yankees. He had a laid-back spirit, easygoing nature, and warmth that earned him countless friends. Woody's generosity, authenticity, kindness, humor, and genuine personality left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

In addition to his beloved wife, Michael is survived by his children, Erich (Julie) Weil, Scott (Alex) Weil, and Ashley (John Polenski, Jr.) Weil; his adored grandchildren Brayden, Nikolai, Camryn, Sydney, Kyle, Marley, Layne, and Logan; his siblings, Karen Weil and Thomas Weil; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members; and many, many, many, MANY friends.

In addition to his parents, Michael was predeceased by his dear grandmother Ann Farina.
