Ralph H. Weller, 78 By CQ News CQ Services Thu, 07 Oct 2004 2:09 PM Ralph H. Weller, 78, formerly of Alcove, N.Y., died Thursday, Sept. 22, 2004, at Albany Veterans Association Medical Center Hospital. Born in Elmira, he was an administrator for Sperry & Hutchinson Promotions in New York City for many years prior to moving to the capital region. Ralph was also a veteran of World War II, having served in the Navy in Normandy. Ralph was predeceased by his parents, Harry and Alice (Gidney) Weller. He is survived by a sister, Jackie Beltone of Pa. and several nieces and nephews. All services will be private at the convenience of the family.

RE; RALPH H WELLER OBIT

        I was a very close friend of Ralph Weller for over 50 years, and I want to thank you for the write-up you gave him .

         Ralph had many interests - one of them being genealogy.  He had an extensive work on the Weller family which he had been researching for decades.

          His scholarship was detailed and accurate, and covered many of his interests.  He was a student of theology, and a devout member of the Episcopal Church.  During his life he served as a lay-reader, a vestryman, a Warden, a  delegate to Church conventions, and on boards of many Church related institutions.

          He was also an authority on the Shaker Communities of up State New York, and Massachusetts. He was an horticulturist who kept  the gardens of the Albany Shaker Community stocked with authentic herbs from his beds.

            Many who know him from his excellent skill as a book binder and restorer of volumes in poor condition. He served clients from all over the USA.

           He was also an authority on the music of Charles Ives.   He was also a diarist, and kept the most exact records of events in his world.  I used him as a resource whenever I needed difficult details that he might know.  The most extreme example was just a year ago when I needed to know the date  of a  Bishop  Cooper who preached at our Church in  fall of 1953.... He came up with it, and notes on the Bishop.  He was the Bishop of Korea at the time, and, aside from the historic connection, was most important in a piece I was writing.

          His position at S&H included the production of the Green Stamps catalog for collectors stock  for the redemption centers throughout the states.  When I wanted to acquire a Wok - not in the catalog - I asked him to look into the matter and the next edition of the S&H catalog included a Wok which I had enough green stamps to redeem.

           I hope you will publish some of this - and I hope I haven't overlooked his remarkable achievements.

SInceely,

Robert Hirst
