Karl Weaver, the first black elected to the Pompano Beach City Commission, passed away on May 25th at the age of 69.

A Pompano Beach resident since 1957, he was elected city-wide to the commission in 1973, before candidates ran within districts.

Mr. Weaver was active in the community, including service on the board of directors of both the Pompano Beach Historical Society and the Sample-McDougald House Preservation Society.

He was a force for good in Pompano Beach.
