Victor Weir, 86, Formerly of Clarkston, Pullman
Cheney, Washington
"Victor Leonard Weir, 86, a retired house and sign painter, died of causes related to age Saturday at the Cheney Care Center. He had been a patient there the past two weeks.
Weir worked for painting contractor Bob Lewis and then the Tate Paint Store, both at Pullman, and also was a painting contractor himself before joining the building and grounds department at Washington State University in 1944. He retired after 22 years of service in 1966.
He was born Aug. 13, 1904, at Red Oak, Mo., to John Arthur and Anna Elizabeth Clyman Weir. The family moved west to Pullman in 1906, then to Rock Lake, Wash., and Belt, Mont., before returning to Pullman in 1919. During World War II, he worked in the Vancouver shipyards. He then returned to Pullman to work as a painter.
He and Eddie M. Evans Russell were married Jan. 22, 1951, and they made their home at Albion, Wash. They moved to Clarkston in 1981, where they lived until a year ago, when they moved to the Badger Lake Resort near Cheney.
Weir also was a painter of pictures and a bronze sculptor. He enjoyed ocean, lake and river fishing and tied his own flies and made most of his own fishing equipment. He was a member of the Clarkston Moose Lodge.
Survivors include his wife, Eddie, at their Badger Lake home; a stepson, Willie Russell of Lewiston; five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. A stepson, Ralph Russell, a brother, Jesse Weir, and a sister, Edna Eliza Ritter died previously. The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at Kimball Funeral Home at Pullman with Thomas J. Twilliger of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints officiating. Burial will follow at the Pullman City Cemetery. The family suggests any memorials be contributions to the Cheney Emergency Medical Technicians or to a local hospice."
