ZWEIG, Theodore "Ted" Max

Theodore "Ted" Max Zweig, age 64, retired brick mason, from Amarillo, Texas and born on December 13, 1948 to Max & Peggy Zweig, died on October 26, 2013 at Christopher House-Hospice Austin with his loving wife and sister by his side after a very short bout with Cancer.

Ted served honorably in the US NAVY during the Vietnam Veteran War between December 19, 1967 and November 26, 1971 as a Radioman (RM3). He was stationed in Hawaii and out of Long Beach, CA onboard the USS KANSAS CITY (AOR-3).

Ted and his wife Diane lived in Austin for the last 23 years. He worked in the brick masonry trade for 35 years and built churches, schools, banks, office buildings, government and public facilities from Washington State to Washington D.C. and many cities in Texas. He loved spending his spare time writing... Writing poems, songs or just thought... And he loved playing the guitar. Wrote songs for his wife, sister and friends... And he drew inspiration from song writers like Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and John Prine.

He is survived by his wife of 34 years Diane Zweig, his sister Becky Coyne and her two daughters Lisa Metcalf and Tanya Scudder (nieces) in addition to many loving aunts, cousins, a great-aunt and close friends from coast to coast.
