Obituary.................
Robert Stoddard Weiss died on December 3, 2012 peacefully at his home in
Oak Bluffs after a battle with Lou Gehrig's disease. He was 81 years of age.
Robert was married to Sylvia L. (Day) Weiss for fifty-four years and they
enjoyed their time together by traveling the world. Robert was born in Rockville
Centre in New York on October 26, 1931 and grew up in Freeport on Long Island.
He was the son of Herman R. Weiss and Marjorie Marie (Johnson) Weiss. After
graduating high school and receiving his associate's degree in animal husbandry
he was drafted in to the Army during the Korean Conflict and was discharged in
1954. Upon returning to the United States he trained and obtained his pilot's
license in 1956. He was flying for Northeast Airline which was subsequently
taken over by Delta Airlines in the 1970's for whom he flew for until his
retirement in 1983. He was a member of the Eureka Masonic Lodge in Bethel, CT.
He lived between Hobe Sound, FL in the winters and Martha's Vineyard in the
summers where he was a licensed Coast Guard captain and held fishing charters on
his boat Summer's Lease. Robert enjoyed gardening, fishing and was known to
always lend a hand to help fix just about anything and to give back. He and
Sylvia traveled extensively and lived in numerous parts of the world. Robert is
survived by his wife; two sons, Richard of Ridgefield, CT and Stephen of Darien,
CT; and three grandchildren, Taylor-Lynn Weiss, Kenny and Robert Weiss. His
funeral service will be private. Donations may be made in his memory to the
Animal Shelter, PO Box 1829, Edgartown, MA 02539. Arrangements are under the
care of the Chapman, Cole and Gleason Funeral Home, Edgartown Road, Oak Bluffs.
