Bill Weaver moved to Sun City from Minnesota in 1984. Two years later at age 63 in his first major tournament as a two year bowler Bill as the vice won 1st place in the Championship Flight of the 1986 Hacienda Open Triples in Las Vegas. The following year with the same partners he finished in 3rd in the Championship Flt. With 64 teams the prize money of $14,400 was the largest of any tournament in USLBA bowls event at that time. 
In the US Championship Bill qualified three in Pairs with a 2nd place in 1991. He won a National Open Pairs win in 1993. He won 4 Senior Open Triples and 1 Pairs. Bill was now becoming an outstanding bowler and sought by all the top bowlers.
In a bowling career of 21 years he played in 100 top level tournaments and placed in the Championship Flight 49 times with 17 wins, 12 seconds, 10 thirds and 10 fourths. He loved to play in club social games and played well into his high eighties. 
Bill was part of a group of bowlers who lobbied the Southwest Division with the largest membership of any division to split into two divisions thus creating the South Central Division  of which he became their first President. 
At a South Central Division Board meeting in January 2006 the members approved changing   the name of the Neils Kragh Pairs to the Bill Weaver Pairs. When Bill heard about this honor   he wrote a check for a healthy amount of money as a donation to the South Central Division Memorial Fund to be used to promote his event and bowling in general. 
Bill Weaver was a gentleman at all times on and off the green and showed the way for all bowlers how to model themselves when bowling both in social play and particularly in tournament play.
