Funeral Details

This is a memory from long ago. Byron was no older than 6 and was visiting us in Indiana all on his own. Maybe he was even younger. He disappeared one afternoon. Just took off and we were mystified at where he could have gone. We were actually frantic and it took several hours to find him. Or let me say he showed up on his own! It turned out that he had gone to the funeral of a gypsy king who was living in a store front several blocks away. My town was not full of gypsies; this was an exotic discovery on his part. I can't begin to imagine how he found out about it and had gone off on his own for this adventure. I was really impressed at his courage and drive for adventure. My mother was glad he returned and was not just kidnapped by the gypsies who were quite transient and gone in a week. So this memory is entitled Byron and the Death of the Gypsy King! Byron was my favorite cousin.

With a heavy heart, I offer my sincerest condolences to the Weis and Coustan families. I had the honor and privilege of working with Byron. He touched my heart and life with his kindness, honesty, integrity, sincerity and genuineness to name a few. I am a better person and lawyer because of Byron and am grateful to have been a part of his life. I will take comfort knowing his pain and frustrations are over and he is resting in piece. I will miss him.

When I first met Hillary's dad (Mr. Weis to me.. I don't think I ever called him Byron), he was excited to take me to a real Chicago steak house. I was excited too since I do love meat. He thought it was the funniest thing when I mis-ordered and asked for the 2 oz filet (rather than some normal-sized portion) He kept asking - Lucy, are you sure you're not still hungry? I was too embarrassed to say that I was (though I likely ate a lot of rolls or potatoes).

He was always so kind and generous. And an inspiration running 7 or 8 miles a day well into his 70s. He will be missed & I will always remember his warm spirit.
