In Loving Memory of James Weisbeck

The community of East Bloomfield is mourning the loss of a longtime resident following a tragic crash that claimed the life of 88-year-old James Weisbeck. His passing has left family members, friends, and neighbors reflecting on a life that spanned decades and touched many within the quiet communities of Ontario County.

According to authorities, deputies with the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a serious crash shortly before 1:30 p.m. on Saturday along Gauss Road. What began as an ordinary afternoon quickly became a heartbreaking moment for those who knew and loved Weisbeck.

Investigators say that Weisbeck was driving a Tesla Model 3 westbound on Gauss Road when the vehicle left the roadway for reasons that remain under investigation.
