January 1, 1945 ~December 9, 2023

EDWARD WEIR, of Newtown, PA, died peacefully on Saturday, 09 DEC 2023.
He is survived by his wife of 44 years, AUDREY BERNHEIMER, a stepson
HENRY T. BRUSH, his wife LISA BRUSH, their daughters ELIZA BRUSH and
EMILIA BRUSH, a daughter AMANDA B. LANE, her husband JOSH LANE,
their dog, DUKE, a son ERIC B. WEIR, his wife MORGAN S. WEIR, their son
DAVIN B. WEIR, and a sister, KATHERINE WEIR.

Ed grew up in Wantagh, NY and had a special feeling for his neighbors in the
Keene homes community and for his high school class of 1963.

Ed loved to tell stories, trains (especially steam trains), the southwest, history, folk
music, traveling, friends and family, not necessarily in that order. No memorial service is planned at this time.

From Glenn Strachan:

This one hits hard! Ed and his wife, Audrey, were a true blessing during a crucial time for my son. I initially knew Ed from his involvement in organizing the Wantagh Multiyear Reunion back in August 2000. Little did I know, our connection went way back—Ed knew me as a baby because my father, alongside Ed and my brother Merrill, contributed to the Boy Scouts troop they were part of.

After the reunion, Ed shared his contact details, and 12 years later, I reached out to him when my son needed assistance near the boarding school he attended. Ed, ever so kind, mentioned he could practically hit the school with a rock. From that moment, for the next four years, Ed and Audrey embraced Julian as an honorable son in their family. They provided him a room on weekends, took him out for meals, and explored museums together. In essence, Ed and Audrey became his second set of parents.

When Julian graduated and headed to college in Portland, Oregon, he befriended Amanda Weir, and their connection also led to a friendship. I made sure Julian maintained his relationships with the entire Weir family, and he did so effortlessly.

In August, Ed and Audrey spent a weekend at our home, creating cherished memories with Julian, Marissa, and Madison—all under one roof.

Audrey often used the term “Mitzvah” to describe what they did for my son, myself, and his mom. They were there during times when we couldn’t drive up to his school. I am eternally grateful for Ed and Audrey’s unwavering support, and now it feels like a massive rock has fallen off my life’s mountain. I’ve always believed that anyone kind to my children deserves my own kindness, and we reciprocated that kindness. Forever thankful to you, Ed Weir
