I was in the Army Reserve 94th Signal Battalion with Bill back in the late 50s and early 60s. and worked with him at Sylvania. He was a true gentleman. My prayers are with him and his family.
Thank you for your service, Bill, may you rest in peace.

To the Weiss Family: Expressing condolences on Mr. Weiss's passing. My brother in-law spoke of meeting Mr Weiss and his wife in Cape Breton on different occasions. I come from Judique, Cape Breton and my grandmother, Mary Ann MacIntyre from MacIntyre's Mountain was married in Judique to Angus MacMaster, so I believe we are related through the MacIntyres.

Dear Elizabeth,

I am so sorry to hear about Bill. He was a great individual. I'll always remember our times setting for the American Red Cross auctions. Bill was always willing to lend a hand. He will be sorely missed.
