Mickey Hart, longtime drummer for Grateful Dead, shared his memories of Bob Weir following his death at 78. "Bob Weir was a little brother to me for almost sixty years," Hart wrote. He was my first friend in the Grateful Dead. We lived together, played together, and made music together that ended up changing the world."

A sold-out show at the Palace Theater, a performance at Toad’s in the ’80s, Grateful Dead founding member Bob Weir left his mark on Connecticut over the years.

He also gave credit to various faculty and staff at the school for teaching him to love language and to listen attentively to words and music.
