Through all the years here in this area Bro. Weir has made one of the deepest impressions on me as he set a great example for those around him. Even though they were dealing with issues that accompany getting older both him and Sis. Weir always had a smile on their face and a warm embrace when I saw them. I always looked forward to visiting their home and it was difficult to have to leave. I know this great man has made a lasting impression on the lives of others as he did mine. I will always remember him as he strived to live the Principles of the Gospel with his great love for Father and his son Jesus Christ. My Bro. Weir will surely be missed but not ever be forgotten and in this Temporal life we lead isn’t that what we all wish for.
God be with you Bro. Weir until we meet and embrace again.
