jeweler at 22720 Woodward,
Ferndale, was killed in what

in the store, last week. He
was 45.
He was found dead Thurs-
day evening.
Mr. Weil, vt°.io was propri-
etor of Iversen Jewelers for
the past five months, had
been in the jewelry business
for a number of years but
only recently had gone on
his own.
He was a member of Cong.
Beth Achim. Born in Cleve-
land, he came to the De-
troit area six years ago. He
resided at 14630 LaBelle, Oak
Park.
A Navy veteran, Mr. Weil
leaves his wife, Lenore; chil-
dren Bonnie, Sharie, Jodi and
Cory Escott; Kevin. Ronna.
Michael and Jeffrie Weil; and
his mother, Mrs. Mildred
Weil, a brother, Joel, and a

tion, call Mrs. Joseph Kline,
353-9483; Mrs. Harold Du-
chan, 398-8108, or Mrs. David
Klavons, 398-3564.
Mr. Weil's stepdaughter,
Jodi Escott, 14, wrote a eulo-
gy that was read by Rabbi
Milton Arm at services Sun-
day at Kaufman Chapel.
It read in part:
"I'll always remember you
as the greatest guy;

You could never cheat or
tell a lie.
Everyone loves you,
Your daughters and sons
and everyone you knew.
I can't believe it, nobody can,
All I know is that you were
a real man.
With a smile on your face
and your head up high,
Why, oh why, did you
have to die?
There's two things you have
to have through life,
That's pride and dignity.
You had those two things,
and I learned to have
Them from you."
