Paul Weeks, in memoriam

I am informed that Paul Weeks, whose stories appear on the Daily Mirror blog, notably his profile of Police Chief William H. Parker, has passed away at the age of 86 due to liver cancer. Services are pending.

He leaves a widow, the former Barbara Rasmussen, whom he married in 1990, and his first wife, Ruth Looney, the mother of his two children, Bill Wells and Barbara Huntington. He also leaves four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
