Pat Weber RIP

We lost one of the better and nicer people around when Pat Weber, mother of bassist and good friend Kent Weber, died last week.
Pat always had time to say hello and ask how you were when she saw you out anywhere, and she was known and respected by many not only for her warmth and friendliness, but for her unending support for Kent. You could encounter Pat at many of Kent's shows, including at The Continental and The Cabaret; indeed, one night Pat and Val's mother, Janice Dunne, spent a fun evening chatting (and rumor has it imbibing) at a show Kent was playing and Val was photographing at The Continental.
Kent lovingly cared for his mother for several years following her stroke, and Val and I join so many others in sending our heartfelt condolences to Kent and the Weber family, knowing that Pat will still be there at all of his shows. Kent has had a hard year, having suffered the deaths of his best friend and longtime musical collaborator, Mark Freeland, and now his mother Pat.
