I will miss Steve, there are very few who are not only willing but able to
share at his level.
Celebrate the man.

Subject:[SI-LIST] Steve Weir
Hi folks-
I was saddened to hear of Steve Weir's passing. I knew Steve for almost 20
years. I first met him at a DesignCon.
Every year, we would get together at DesignCon and talk each other's ears
off. He was a fountain of knowledge not just about SI but about anything
science or engineering based, and about life. I have never found a topic he
was not knowledgeable with or had not thought deeply about with his own
opinions.
I invited him to participate in every panel I ran at DesignCon and always
introduced him as the smartest person I knew. As smart as we was, he was
also gracious and polite to others. I never heard him say a bad thing about
or to anyone. He always enthusiastically passed along the latest cool thing
he learned from someone else. And since he was so well connected, he knew
everyone and was involved in many clever endeavors, he always had something
fascinating to share.
When we had a booth at DesignCon, he would always stop by to chat. Susan, my
wife, would make sure she had an extra chair in our booth, she called the
"Steve Weir chair," so he could sit and chat with her. It was a win-win. She
got to catch up on all the latest industry gossip and Steve was like an
"engineer magnet" for our booth. Everyone wanted to stop and seek Steve's
opinion, which he freely gave.
Susan would often tell me how she didn't get enough of her Steve Weir dose
on a given day because too many other people took his time away from her,
but maybe he would stop by again the next day.
Steve will be missed by Susan and me and the rest of our SI/PI/EMI
community.

I just received a phone call from Tim Weir, Steve Weir's brother. I am very
sad to say that Steve passed away some time last night.
Steve was a friend and a colleague to many of us. His technical
contributions to the SI List, his spirit, and his wit will be sorely missed
by many.
With sadness. At DesignCon, let's gather and raise a glass to Steve.
Scott
