Perfectly illustrating the slogan of the international chain, Jon R. Weiss was the helpful hardware man for an appreciative Glenview clientele. Owner of Weiss Ace Hardware, 1560 Waukegan Road, Weiss died Jan. 6 after a yearlong battle with cancer. He was 87. "Loving, caring -- he cared about his family, he cared about his community, he cared about Ace," said daughter Lynne Rine of Glenview. "Ace was key on his agenda, and he's been in this business forever. That was real important to him." The Glenview Chamber of Commerce's Business of the Year in 2004, the Weiss Ace Hardware was among the company's original stores.
