Not sure what to say?

Robert Weiss is the reason my daughter felt she could learn math. He called, stopped by and went the extra mile in each case of need for my child. He was the best of the best. He is the perfect example of how teaching is much more than learning a subject but more teaching how to live life.

I AM SENDING MY HEARTFELT CONDOLENCE TO YOUR FAMILY.PLEASE BE COMFORTED BY ISAIAH 61:1-2 WHICH STATES IN PART:"GOD HAS SENT HIS SON TO BIND UP THE BROKENHEARTED AND COMFORT ALL WHO MOURN".

Mary, I hope Robert has a nice warm therapy pool where he is. I know how much he enjoyed it at the Wellness Center. It is with a great deal of sadness that I learn of your loss.

Offering our deepest condolences at this difficult time.

Bob was one of the reasons we came to NMH. He was a mentor and a good friend. We always looked forward to seeing him at reunions. He will be missed by many people. He was the soul of NMH. Our prayers go out to Mary and his family. Ginny and Pat Mooney.

If it weren't for Mr. Weiss, I never would have learned valuable lessons tucked into his math instruction. During each test, students would turn in their work, and Mr. Weiss would carefully scan the work, and then ever so non-intrusively suggest to some classmates (and me) that we might want to double-check certain answers.

In that very diplomatic way, he taught me that there was a third option to right and wrong: still learning. In those simple acts, he taught me that education...

Even after 28 years, thinking of Mr. Weis always brings tears to my eyes. He provided one of my most profound examples ever of what teaching means, when he handed me back a Calculus test with a "D" on it, tucked into an antique copy of T.S. Elliot's play, "Murder in the Cathedral", that he had picked up at a garage sale over the weekend. He never lost his patience with me, or stopped encouraging me to meet my potential as a mathematician, but he always honored my participation in the NMH...

Bob was a great friend and colleague. Much sympathy goes out to his family.

Robert Weis was the best Algebra teacher and made me feel like I could actually grasp the material. I adored him.
