Not sure what to say?

Pete Weitz was a friend to me, a mentor, an inspiration, my Chemistry teacher in my junior year at LC hi. Through him I got the confidence needed to go on to a degree in Chem at UW. And that got me into med school and a wonderful, rewarding subspecialty 35yr career taking care of critically ill folks in the ICU. Even now, in my second career as full time studio wood artist, I have recently been benefitting from hi school chemistry experiments in electrical charges across battery terminals...

Dr. Weitz was my favorite hi school teacher. I got A’s in chemistry because of his guidance and inspiration. I graduated from UW with a Chemistry Degree and that helped me get to med school and a 35yr career in critical care medicine. Thank you Dr. Weitz.

What a challenging teacher he was with a sense if humor I appreciate so much more now than in his chem class as a teenager:) so sad to hear this news. My condolences to his family.

"Quickly, like rabbits!" I can hear Mr. Weitz now, trying to get us to take our seats for our chemistry class. He was such an excellent and fun teacher. After junior chemistry at LC, my freshman chemistry class at the UW was a breeze! My twin sons, who are now taking junior chemistry at their high school, look at me like I'm crazy when I tell that chemistry is just so cool and I can't understand why they don't love it. I wish their teacher could channel Mr. Weitz.

What a guy, great neighbor and friend as well as mentor to hundreds of young men that he coached in baseball..he not only taught baseball skills, but life lessons and many great men were molded because of him. Both of my children were blessed to have him in Chemistry..truly one of a kind. Condolences to Nancy and the rest of his family.

One of the most memorable teachers at LC. I'm sure you were why I loved organic chem so much at college. Thoughts and prayers to your family.

Well pop. I'm here and your not. Just would like to thank you for making me the man I am. You taught me e everything you could. Sure I didn't listen a few times. But I learned from it. Why is there never enough time to do it right the first time but always enough time to do it right the second time? You leave behind a loving wife of 30 years. Nancy Weitz. Me and Peter Dean Weitz. Who have been stuck in the mountains more then once. Andreah weitz . Who loved you and respected you more than...

What a Chemistry teacher – inspiring and fun as well! It is especially meaningful to me since his daughter was a student of mine. Know he will be missed.

Mr. Weitz truly knew how to inspire his students. He was one of the first teachers I had when I transferred into LC. I was terrified and he made the whole experience fun and interesting. He gave a great deal of himself to his students and his work. His family was truly blessed to have such a father, husband friend. I am a better person for having known him.
