Doc and Irene have been like family to me since childhood and I am so sorry to learn today of Doc's passing. Time and distance separated us, but the memories of Squires Acres and the wisdom shared with me by Doc are forever etched in my mind. I have always considered him to be one of the greatest people I have ever known.
Irene and Joe: If I had known, I would have stood with you throughout the services and really hate that my response is late. If there is anything I can do to...

Joe - I was so sorry to learn of your fathers passing. I only read it this morning (Thurs) I urge you to remember how lucky you've been to have had him with you for most of your life, and his. Cherish the good times and he will never truly be gone. My deepest sympathies, Rick

I consider myself one of the most fortunate people on earth because I have known so many wonderful people in my lifetime including "Doc" Weir who was our next door neighbor and our friend.
He left his little corner of the world a better place because he was here and he cared.
He will be missed by many people. Godspeed, Doc.
