Geoffrey S. Weston of Richmond, RI passed away at home on January 24, 2021 from bladder cancer, surrounded by his wife and children. He was 81 years old. Born in Providence, he was the son of the late Charles and Hazel (Haelsen) Weston. He was the beloved husband and soulmate of Virginia (Siebert) Weston and “dad” to their cat Monterey Jack. He was the father of Melissa (Ernest) LaMontagne of Dayville, Ct, Heidi (Gordon) Rogers of Foster, RI, Geoffrey (Toni) Weston of Smithfield, RI and Todd (Tracey) Weston of Coventry, RI. Geoff was “Grampy” to Jade, Jesse, Hayley, Elijah, Levi, Caleb, Sydnie, Braeden, Elizabeth and the late Hunter Elizabeth LaMontagne. Survivors also include his brother Charles Weston of Hampton, NH, sister Candace Petrucci of Hebron, CT and 7 great-grandchildren along with numerous nieces and nephews. He proudly served in the US Navy aboard the USS Sea Devil and loved telling family and friends stories of the time he spent in Japan during his navy years. Also dear to his heart were the 61 summers spent at the ancestral home on the Oyster River in Chatham, MA. Geoff was a former member of the Smithfield Town Council and the Smithfield Sportsman’s Club. He worked as a machinist at various manufacturing facilities in RI and Massachusetts before opening his own business – Weston Machine Co. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, bird watching, and always looked forward to spring and the return of “his” ducks to the pond in his backyard. Due to Covid restrictions no calling hours or funeral will be held. In lieu of flowers, if desired donations may be made in his name to the Exeter Animal Shelter, 169 South County Trail, Exeter, RI 02822.
