Fred Eugene Weimer

Fred Eugene Weimer, 74, of North Huntingdon, passed away Thursday, May 6, 2021, at home surrounded by family. He was born a farmer’s son to Earl and Mary (Knepper) Weimer on March 6, 1947 and lived a full life of his favorite motto, “Let’s go, we’re burning daylight!” He graduated from Rockwood High School, class of ‘65, where he fell in love with his future bride Nancy at their senior prom. Fred and Nancy would marry on December 17, 1966 and share 56 beautiful years together as a couple. A 50th wedding anniversary vow renewal, complete with their grandsons walking Nancy down the aisle, was a cherished memory. Fred use to say, “If you get a Weimer, you get a good one” and Nancy sure did. Fred proudly served his country by enlisting in the Army during the Vietnam Conflict and was stationed in South Korea from 1967-1969 as a specialist 5th Class. He graduated from Penn Technical Institute in 1973 followed by many happy years of employment at Rockwell International and Delta as a Lab Supervisor. Fred enjoyed mowing grass, a simple country meal, brisk walks, watching westerns, planting tomatoes in his garden, and traveling with Nancy to national parks out west and visiting his kids in North Carolina and Maine. He excelled at handyman jobs and if he had to dress up, he was sure to wear a favorite Delta shirt and jeans. On the opposite end, he greatly disliked lightning, heights, and water past his knees. Fred loved the Lord and was a faithful member of the former Country Hills United Methodist Church and First Presbyterian Church of Irwin where he served in many capacities. Fred was preceded in death by his parents, brother Bill, sisters Ann Burns and Helen Leer, and infant brother George. He is survived by his beloved wife Nancy (Stahl) Weimer; daughter Jill Merritt and husband Mike of New Bern, NC; son Scott Weimer and wife Erin of Scarborough, Maine; and 2 precious grandsons that he was so proud of, Riley Merritt and Ben Weimer; and 2 cats, Molly and Smokey. Known as Barney to his brothers, Fred is survived by his brothers Jay Weimer; Dave Weimer and wife Judy; and Joe Weimer and wife Sue; all of Somerset; brother in law Allan Stahl and wife Sue of Rockwood; sister in law Arlene Weimer of Somerset; and many nephews and nieces.
