The Passing of Dennis Weber, DPM (Mark H. Sugar, DPM)

I can only echo the sentiments of Dennis Weber's
good friend Mark Sugar. I have known Dennis my
entire career and I am also a proud Civic/Kern
alumnus. Dennis practiced in Rockville, Maryland
not far from my office. There was a fire in his
building around 2008. He couldn't practice and I
had space in my office so I called him and made
arrangements for him to just see his patient in
my space until he could move back into his own
space. After a few months, he was able to move
back into his building. The time we spent in the
office together went so well that when his lease
was up for renewal, Dennis and I made a deal for
him to move his practice into my space as part of
a purchase agreement.

The deal was for 5 years and then he would
retire. However, it went well enough that he
stayed longer before he retired. It was just a
pleasure to have Dennis around and to have access
to his calming demeanor and insight, especially
as Foot and Ankle Specialists of the Mid-
Atlantic, LLC was just getting off the ground. He
loved his patients and they loved him. He loved
his family and grandchildren and he would just
light up talking about the time he got to spend
with them. He retired in 2015 and moved to
Florida. He was so happy.

Then not 5 months later he was having the Whipple
procedure done for early diagnosed pancreatic
cancer. The procedure and the treatment after,
and how it impacts your life, is beyond tough.
When I would speak to Dennis, he never would
complain and always had a positive attitude. His
treatment after his procedure was so difficult
that he said if he had a recurrence, he would not
subject himself to more treatment again. His last
6 months were not great but whenever I would
speak with him, he would never complain and would
just joke that he never thought he would be
addicted to oxycontin. Even towards the end he
was positive. My condolences to his wife Ellen
and entire family. Dennis will be missed but
always remembered.

Rest in Peace my friend.
