Weir, Lester Palmer, Jr.
Death: Saturday, May 22, 2021 at the age of 69
On a cool, clear day on December 6th 1951 Les came into the world, the eldest son of Lester and Martha (Work) Weir in Washington D.C. Growing up in a small farmhouse in Maryland, he learned a strong work ethic and self-sufficiency. He became an entrepreneur in his early twenties, joining with two partners, a friend and one brother, in the business Pure Mountain Water. After nearly 2 decades of hard work there, he sold the business and opened a very successful new business, Bay Engraving, which kept him busy for the next 30 years. Through these early years he married Deborah A. (Howie), who made his blue eyes twinkle with a deep and abiding love, and he became a father to Brendan and Jesse, his greatest treasures. When the boys were young, Lester coached basketball and soccer teams his sons were on, and as they became young adults, he brought them into the family business.
