Rick was a great teacher. He was good with the kids and helped my son out when he needed it. He will be missed greatly.

Gecko always thinks of him, especially when times are hard on him. Rick will always be a part of our lives forever.

Thanks to Evan Talbort, a student and friend of Master Weems, we got to know him for a short while. He was so very nice and dedicated to his students and friends. He is and will be forever sadly missed.

Rick,

I have had the good fortune to have known you in several capacities over the last 28 years. You were a fine competitor, a great instructor and a better friend. You will be missed. Thank you for everything.

As everyone knows that knew Rick, he was an extremely special man in his giving and heart for his students. His positive attitude about everything was contagious,even in his last months. I know Rick is now sitting at the feet of Our Lord in heaven, and the angels smile. I am blessed to have known him.
