Cantor Weiss was a wonderful man that I remember with love. He was my Cantor, when I was a child at "6th Street." What a kind, gentle man with a beautiful voice.
My condolences go out to his loving wife, Bertha, and his entire family.
With love,
Susan Warshaw Berman

Cantor Weiss was a wonderful man and had the best cantorial voice that I ever heard. He taught me my bar mitzvah hafftorah. A fine gentleman He was wonderful with the youth groups as I remember from the 1950s. My sincere condolences to his family. His good name and good deeds will long be remembered by many in Allentown.

So sorry to learn of Cantor Weiss' passing. What a wonderful man. A terrific mentor and visited with him in Florida. The Weiss' lived in the same development my parents lived. Cantor Weiss helped make my Bar Mitzvah a tremendous success. He shall always be missed.
