William Algeo Weed, II, of Charleston died suddenly on September 25, 2012.

He was born September 19, 1942 in Huntington, the son of the late William Kermit and Cora Pauley Weed. He was predeceased by his daughter Marjorie Weed Lyons.

Bill graduated from Huntington High School and received his BA in Music Education from Marshall University. After teaching in Tyler and Cabell counties he settled down in Smoot, West Virginia where he taught for the Greenbrier County Board of Education for thirty years. Bill loved nothing more than inspiring in new musicians a love for music and continued teaching bagpiping after he retired. He was the official piper for the Greenbrier Hotel before moving to Charleston and was well known through southern West Virginia for playing weddings and funerals. Bill was also an accomplished knitter, painter, and an award-winning wood-carver.

Bill is survived by his loving wife, Kathryn Willoughby Weed; daughter, Rebecca Weed Smith of Chesapeake, VA; and two brothers, Hy Daniel Weed of Proctorville, Ohio and Dennis Weed of Manassas, VA. He had six grandchildren, William Weed IV, Kaylena Weed, and Issac Weed of Idaho; Andrew Lyons of Parkersburg; and Nicholas Smith and Jack Smith of Virginia.

A Memorial Service will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 29, at the First Presbyterian Church of St. Albans, Rev. Paul Romine officiating. Visitation will be at the church one hour prior to the service, with interment at a later date.

Arrangements are in the care of Keller Funeral Home, Dunbar.

Memorial donations may be made to the Marjorie W. Lyons Memorial scholarship fund at Ohio Valley University or the Music Fund of the First Presbyterian Church of St. Albans.
