Donald Weim ’63, who had been impaired with Alzheimers since 2015, passed away from Covid 19 on November 12, 2021. Don's youth was spent as a typical boy in the ‘50s and ‘60s: Boy and Cub Scouts, delivering papers for the then twice daily delivery of Union and Daily Tribune. He graduated with a BA from SDSU. In the early ‘70s he began his career in the insurance industry as a claims adjuster. Throughout his career, he always kept his black roller pen in his left shirt pocket. He was widely known for his Weim-isms: "I'm working half days now -- 6 to 6". His main love of life was rebuilding Ford hot rods. He was a member of San Diego Prowlers. His claim to fame was painting a Porsche for George Bullington of Bully’s Restaurants. His final project, which took 32 years to complete, was a 1954 Ford F100. He was most comfortable with a cigar in his mouth and wearing Hawaiian shirts.
Memorial Service: Saturday, December 4th at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1370 Euclid Ave, #5495, San Diego, CA 92105 at 11 AM. A Celebration of Life luncheon to immediately follow.
Bring your hot rods, casual attire encouraged and please bring one of your favorite Weim-isms to share.
