RIP Weezell Has Passed Away After a Long Illness

[Papamique]

I’m so sorry Condor. It is evident that you both met for a reason and I’m sure he enjoyed every bit of the friendship as you did.

I'm very sorry. It's so sad seeing people leave this forum that way. My condolences.

@condorlover1, I always thought of you two as a team...

RIP Weezell.

There are not enough words to express the profound sense of loss I feel currently. I am afraid I must inform you all that ‘Weezell’ passed away after a long period of illness. He was not only a close friend but also known to all of you on this forum by our mutual love of ‘cutty pipes’ horrible plug tobacco and equally off taste humor.

I met Dave through this forum, and we immediately bonded. He was a generous soul, tolerant but with very defined opinions. We spoke weekly but strangely only met once at the Columbus Pipe Show, exchanged pipes and tobacco every few weeks, yet every phone call or letter was like meeting for the first time. We shared similar interests, views, and tastes in tobacco and life in general. More often than not any off-color humor or jokes would emanate from our corner of the universe.

As the years passed, we would make a point of speaking most weekends and he would always answer the phone with ‘Simon my dear friend’ and then we would chat away for thirty minutes. I had known about his illness since the spring, but I kept it to myself hoping against hope that medical science would pull a hat out of the rabbit and give him a few more years but sadly it was not to be.

He has now passed on to the other pipe forum in the great beyond and will live now in our memories since David has gone to a place we cannot follow. We will always remember his generosity, kindness, and commitment to our community. Even though the embers of his pipe have been extinguished he will always be in our thoughts. His like we will not see again but maybe at some other time we will all meet up again to complain about the latest version of Condor plug in that great pipe Valhalla that awaits all devotees of the leaf.

He leaves behind a wife, Sue, and a daughter. I believe the funeral arrangements are private and Sue asks for privacy at this time to grieve.

Let us light a bowl in memory of our dear friend Weezell and be happy that his long journey is at an end, and he is now at peace in a place beyond suffering and illness and enjoying the company of some of our other brethren who have passed on before him. Rest in Peace my dear friend, may angels light your pipe as you cross the River Styxs.

So sorry to hear about this. I had noticed his absence recently but wasn’t aware that he was ill.
Prayers for his family and friends, he will be missed.

My condolencesThe first time he made me laugh was when he popped up and responded to a President's Day post. Rest in peace, Weezell...

Sorry to hear that. RIP

Lovely post, Condor.

 

[Steddy]

Shit. Sorry to hear this. Is there anything we can do for the family? A collection to help with the tab?

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

My sincere condolences to you and his family for the loss of this fine man and gentle soul. He seemed like an extremely nice fellow from his posts here and how you described your friendship, with him, to me. May God Bless he, his family and friends during this difficult time.

 

[ukbob]

Sad news indeed. R.I.P Weezell.

 

[didimauw]

Well damn....
He was the one that got me into meerschaums. I had no idea he was sick.
RIP Weez. You will be missed dearly.

Hi Simon,

I am very sorry to hear about your loss as a close friend and fellow companion, and extend my deepest condolences to you and to Dave's family. Weezell was truly one of a kind and his like shall not pass our way again. Weezell's contributions to this forum were much appreciated and enriched it in so many ways.

Requiesat In Pace

Sorry Condor, good bye Weezell & condolences to his family. Again we are at a loss of a good man.

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Oh noooo. I'm really going to miss all the old meers in the WYS threads.
Weezel was a cornerstone on here in my mind. Never met him and never had any long conversations - but he was here every day.
He could make Condor sound delicious too.
He will be missed!
Hope his family finds peace.

May his memory be a blessing.

My condolences to you Condor on the loss of your friend. I had the pleasure to PM back and forth with him on occasion.
Rest in peace Weezell. You'll be missed.

 

[jpberg]

Boy he was a pisser. I’ve wondered what the deal was for a while.
I’ll miss him. Forums need more like him.
