Leslie Weil Obituary

Dear Craig,



My family and I were very saddened to learn of your father's death. My husband was in the room across the hall (at the end of the hall) from your parents' room at the Whitehall.



This was my first experience of having a loved one in a nursing home and I failed to develop a sense of time. I brought my husband home on January 12 and fully believed we had at least another month to spend with him. Instead, my husband passed away on the 15th. We believe in our hearts he waited until he was at home to let go. He did however, wait until his son arrived from Minneapolis before he died. The human spirit is truly miraculous.



I spent an average of 8 hours a day at the Whitehall while my husband was there and I spoke to your father several times a day. He very often thought I worked there. On one occasion, Carlos was working with my husband in his room and needed help. Your father overheard Carlos call for aid and wheeled himself into Lou's room in order to help Carlos. If Carlos needed help, your father was determined to provide it.



Every morning, your mother would be taken out of your parents' room to go to her activities. Your father always stopped her at the door and asked her if she was alright. He would kiss her and after she was wheeled away, with his hands over his face, he would cry. It was heartbreaking. I know he must have loved her very much.



When we left on the 12th, I certainly thought your father would have much more time. He seemed to be so much better than my husband.



My family and I also wish to extend our sympathy on the death of your brother. As an only child, I can't imagine the joys of having a sibling. To lose a sibling must be devastating.



Our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Craig and family:

Leslie and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Les, and our thoughts are with you and your family as you go through this very difficult time. Your father was truly a very special person and the definition of a true gentleman, in everything that he did. When we moved to Chicago in 1988 no one made us feel more welcome than Les which he continued to do through the years. He'll be missed by us greatly as well as by many others.

John and Leslie Roberts
