Al Weber, Jr., IAAPA Board member and President/CEO of Apex Park Groups, suddenly passed away in early November. Weber was a longtime industry veteran who began his career as a seasonal employee but became a leader over time. He left this life with over 45 years dedicated to the leisure and out-of-home entertainment industry, and in that time made friends with many who will miss him.

IAAPA President/CEO Paul Noland released the following statement regarding Weber’s sudden passing:

“We have lost a visionary, an advocate and a friend. Al was the embodiment of everything that is great about this business, and his impact on our industry will live on for generations to come. On behalf of IAAPA, our Board of Directors, staff, and membership, we send our deepest condolences to Al’s wife Bonnie, Al’s family and his industry friends, especially his colleagues at Apex Parks Group.”
