A man who many people in the Marshall Islands thought of as “Mr. Tourism” died in Majuro Thursday from septicemia that developed from an infection in his leg. William H. “Bill” Weza, 65, first came to the Marshall Islands in early 1997 to manage the food and beverage service at the Outrigger Marshall Islands Resort and became a valuable, integral part of this island community.
He ran Outrigger MIR’s food services until 2002 when he returned to work in the Outrigger company in Hawaii. In 2004, after Outrigger ended its management contract to run the Majuro-based Resort, Weza returned as General Manager, a post he held until his death last week.
