Two publications have included stories about the untimely passing of Ed Weber, the director of UC Cooperative Extension in Napa County and viticulture farm advisor, on Dec. 31, 2007.
The Wine Spectator said, "Weber was highly respected among wine writers and grape growers alike, who relied upon him to translate into plain English the latest information on anything related to growing grapes."
The Napa Valley Register also reported on Weber's ability to clearly convey information: "Colleagues said he could take the most complicated data and convey its importance to the general public in a concise, clear way."
In the words of the ANR associate vice president Rick Standiford, "(Weber's) loss will be deeply felt by the entire ANR Community."
