  1. To all the Weller family, so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. Cherish the memories you have and hold dear forever. Please accept my sincere condolences.

  2. A lovely yet quiet man. I’ll think of Cy every time I drive by his house. Condolences to everyone touched by Cy.

  3. We are fast losing the “GREATEST GENERATION” from our lives. God bless them, their families, and our memories of them. We love you and will miss you, grandpa.

  4. My deepest condolences. I wish I could have had gotten to know Cy as I was growing up as I know he was a kind and loving individual. My thoughts, love and prayers go out to all of you.

  5. He was not on the USS Menard. He was on a tank transport known as LST-839. He was a baker, barber, and gunner during battle.

    1. I never heard Dad mention being a barber while on the ship. I did hear him speak about the D-day, the day after. He said the beach wasn’t visible to the eye because there were ships lined up side by side all along the beach. Thank you for your comments here all. We miss our Dad so much. He was so creative, jolly, helpful and so many other wonderful verbs.
