A Poem In Memory of
William Louis Weber, Jr.
Preemies require care and attention
And sometimes medical intervention
When PREMi was developed, Bill spoke with dedication
About his vision, excitement and motivation
Like for preemies, the food and proper nourishment
Yielded a top-notch PREMi group with accomplishments
Publicity, websites, articles, ADR day
Bill upended stones in every way
For those members who did not volunteer for what they would do Bill would strive to find a place for them, too
Where’s your article, send your dues, don’t forget the next meeting If you didn’t hear him the first time, he would be repeating
We reminisce so much over our PREMi experiences
And our lifelong friends and professional acquaintances
Not a meeting went by without Bill’s soliloquy
Of how he loved and appreciated his family
Assigning cases, sometimes in an instance Bill would even conduct PREMi meetings from a distance
Holiday meetings were “OH WHAT FUN”
Bill ended every meeting with a thank-you, a smile and a pun
It goes without saying that we certainly will
Conduct our PREMi gatherings in HONOR OF BILL!
Peace, Bill
