Carl E. "Toad" Weltmer

Carl E. “Toad” Weltmer, Jr., 82, of Etters, passed away on Tuesday, March 29, 2022 in his residence.

He was a retired dock worker with the former Preston Trucking, Emigsville, a truck and van driver with the West Shore School District, and early in life was the owner/operator of Weltmer’s Sunoco, New Cumberland where he worked with his father and continued the business even after his father’s retirement.
