Not sure what to say?

The Lord needed someone to keep things running on time in heaven and he sure picked the right man for the job. Will miss your smiling face timing us in and out at rides. Your smile and wit around camp were contagious and your kindness legendary. Rest in Peace my friend.

To the Weir Family, I am so sorry to hear of the loss, I do know he is in a better place, and you are in my prayers, I am a long time friend of you, from Conroe High Scool,

Phyllis, I am so sad to hear about your father. We both know he's on to great new life.

I will always have fond memories of Cork Weir. He was such a gentleman and always kind to everyone. I am so fortunate to have had the previledge to meet him and compete with his wife and daughter. My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow. God must have had an opening for a "timer" in heaven. Happy Trails, Cork! God Bless. We'll all ride together again on the other side.

Cork was one of the first people I met 9 years ago while I was Volunteering and then competing at NATRC rides. He was very friendly and made me feel at ease when I did my first CTR ride. Cork was seen EVERYWHERE (it seemed) in camp lending a hand with one thing or another.
I feel honored to have known him, and I know he is looking at us from a beautiful place in heaven and wishing us all safe travels. God speed, Cork.

NATRC rides won't be the same without Cork's smiling face at the finish line!

We will miss you Cork.

Dear Katie and family, I just read Cork's truly inspiring obituary. He is loved and missed by all who came in contact with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Cork will remain alive in all our memories.

Katie and family, May the Lord watch over you during this time of mourning.

When JD was Cork's "assistant timer", they spent hours and hours sharing loads of stories while waiting for us riders to return to camp. As with so many other timers, Cork trained JD in the art of timing.

We all loved and respected Cork. As Roger Garlitz said, Cork will be at the Pearly Gates timing each of us in to Heaven. We will miss him.
