I am a grad of WLHS 1970. Mr Tweed was the best teacher I have ever had!! He took extra time with me and was patient and understanding. He helped a troubled young man (me) gain confidence. I truly mean it when I say he made a major difference in my life. I visited him in 1980 to tell him in person how much he meant to me.

Dear Tweed Family,
I work at the dentist where Bob was a patient. He was a caring, kind man. He would come in and always talk to me about his family. I am so sorry for your loss. Bob will be missed.
