Neville Eustace Weston, M.D., passed away at home on October 31, 2015, after a long illness. He was born March 29, 1929 in Port of Spain, Trinidad, West Indies. He attended Belmont Intermediate School and St. Mary's College. He left Trinidad in 1950 to attend the University of Toronto, where he graduated with a degree in medicine in 1960. Dr. Weston did a residence in Ophthalmology at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City and later moved to St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands where he practiced ophthalmology from 1971 until his retirement in 2001. He had a part time practice at the Clinton, Arkansas Wal Mart Vision Center from 2003 through 2005. He split his retirement between Arkansas and Sarasota, Florida, with occasional trips back to Trinidad and St. Thomas as long as his health permitted.
Dr. Weston identified first as a physician but was also well-schooled in the classics: Latin, history, literature, music and poetry and he loved jazz. He also enjoyed travel and learning about other cultures and could "get by" in Spanish and French. He followed world politics and strongly supported liberal causes. Most people who met him described him as gracious and a gentleman.
Dr. Weston was preceded in death by his parents, Cephas and Virginia Pearl Weston and brothers, Bertram and Arnim Weston.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife and companion of 37 years, Susan West Weston of Clinton and his beloved son, Stuart Weston of Little Rock. He is also survived by a large extended family in the United States and the Caribbean, including niece, Mary Ann Weston and grand-niece Megan Livisay, formerly of St. Thomas and grand-nephew Terrance Livisay of St. Thomas.
