Perry L. Weston
CONCORD -- Mr. Weston, 80, died December 10, 2006 of complications from an aneurysm. 'Doc' was a man who enthusiastically enjoyed his life.
Perry was born and raised in Illinois. He received his undergraduate degree from Purdue University and went on to earn his PhD from the University of Utah. He worked as a metallurgist, chemist and engineer in the steel industry. Midlife, he found a new calling as a college professor teaching students that they could conquer chemistry and math. He loved to sing in the choir and when he sang children would look around to see who was singing so exuberantly. He pursued his painting and drawing, using his analytical eye to capture the essence of the natural world.
Those who knew Perry would describe him as an unforgettable character. He was a smart, wonderful and cantankerous husband, father and grandfather who had a great run, and will be sorely missed.
Perry is survived by his wife, Carol, their children and spouses Craig and Ineke, Karen and Lou, Paula and Don, their grandchildren Owen, Gus and Sophie, and his sister Shirley.
A memorial service will be held at St. Martin Lutheran Church, 5469 Highway 200 in Concord at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 17th. The family will receive friends in the fellowship hall following the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Stanley County Community College, for the Dr. Perry Weston Memorial Scholarship. Send contributions to the SCC Foundation, 141 College Drive, Albemarle, NC. 28001.
