Guy Weyl Obituary

Visit the Legacy Remembers website to view the full obituary.
Guy Weyl was a distinguished physicist, passionate skier, and beloved husband, father, and Papi (grandfather). Born in Strasbourg, France, in 1936, he moved to America with his family at the beginning of World War II with his father, mother and older brother, all becoming American citizens before returning to France, when Guy was 12. Guy was an academic. He attended a French day school in New York, the Lycee Pasteur in Paris, and the prestigious Physics and Chemistry School of Paris in 1960. He returned to the U.S. for a PhD in theoretical plasma physics at UCLA, where he was a Hertz Fellow. Guy embraced playfulness and mischievousness, finding joy in many things from getting on his hands and knees to play with his grandchildren to letting them dress him up in costume. He was an avid skier, tennis player, stock market enthusiast, and philanthropist. Guy also volunteered his time tutoring recent immigrants to the Boston area in Math and Physics. Guy is survived by his loving family, including his wife Eveline, three daughters Sonia, Estelle, and Dominique, two grandsons (Oliver Weyl and Nicolas Levy), and two granddaughters (Juliette Weyl and Dakota Levy). He is preceded in death by his parents, brother, and his grandson, Alex Levy. Guy will be remembered for his brilliant mind, kind heart, mischievous wit, and unwavering dedication to science and family.
