Over the weekend veteran WABC radio newsman George Weber was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment, a victim of murder. The police are investigating but it looks like he was stabbed in the neck–most likely, in my view, is that he walked in on a robber who panicked.
Dreadful news, to be sure. I didn’t know George other than by reputation but my best friend worked with him on WABC’s morning show and always had great things to say about him. A bunch of other colleagues have been saying similar things–nice man, opened his home to everyone for great parties, gave a lot of people their start in radio…
The list of accolades goes on–we should all be as lucky as to be remembered so fondly by so many–and at the same time it is sad at how unlucky he was this weekend.
George worked very closely with Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. While I’m not encouraging revenge, I would think that his killer might want to turn himself into police before the Angels find him.

Rest in peace, George. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May George’s soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
