Condolences to family:
I first met Peter in the 1960's when he was a member of the Kettering YMCA judo team. We kept up  our friendship through the years at the Y where we both continued to work out and visit.
I will always remember Pete as a dedicated teacher and great all around quality person, and he will be missed by all.
Condolences, Gary Horton

I am forwarding this personal text that I sent to my sister, Janet, from Feb 21, per her wishes and in honor of her husband, Pete...

Dear Jan, 

I hurt so badly for you.  Words cannot express the sorrow and grief I feel for you and your family. 

 Shortly after you called yesterday, while grieving, I was flooded with memories of my time with Pete in this life. He was the consummate father, caring, loving, protecting his family. He was a rock, with a great gift of kindness, tempered by a great sense of justice and righteousness infused with his own unique sense of humor.  I have always had a great deal of respect for this man that can befriend people with his genuine caring, softly charismatic style, comfortness in character, integrity, and wisdom.  He was a good listener and when offering advice, it was always tailor made for the person or situation and would reflect his gift.  What a wonderful teacher he must have been.

I remember getting to know him at a party at Robin Bepler's in '77 or '78, shortly after you married.  We talked music, Todd Rundgren and David Bowie, and I was always amazed how knowledgeable he was on so many topics.  I also have fond memories of visiting you in your first home in Kettering OH, my first year working professionally in Towanda, PA.  You invited me out to spend my summer vacation with you.  We had a good time.  Joked about how you guys squeezed a King bed into a Master bedroom that wasn't much bigger (lol).  At a local Pub with you, he challenged me to pick up 3 stir sticks (set up pyramid style), 2 fused at the end with a lighter, one just leaning against them), with only one 4th stick.  It confounded me.  When he revealed how to, it was so simple!  A smart engaging man that brought his science to relation with an infectious demeanor and humor.

I remember mornings jogging with him through your neighborhood and of course, before all that, using his YMCA membership card the summer of '76 when I visited you after a failed encyclopedia sales job adventure  that brought me to the midwest.  I didn't know him yet, nor had we even met, yet I was passing for his photo ID at the Y !  You insisted it would fly, and sure enough it did!

Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to share my memories of Pete that in my mist of sorrow and thoughts of  'it should have been me, not him', I was comforted by these memories that ushered in and wanted to share them with you.

Janet, he was a wonderful spouse, father, teacher, and friend. I mourn with you, but hold on to those good times we had and find comfort in them.  I'm sure you have many great memories as well.  I know he would want you to remember him in that way.

It is very late, but I'm not sleeping well and have been thinking of all of you this past afternoon.  May God be with you at this time, and reach out to us anytime.  Amy and I both want to come and pay our respects, and in support of you and the selfless sacrifices you made in your amazing love and care for Pete.  May God be with you,

Love, Fred

Dear Weimer Family, my heartfelt prayers go out to you in the loss of Mr. Weimer.  He has touched the lives of so many of us during his time at Dunbar High School.  Thank you Mr. Weimer for teaching us with passion and believing we could be successful in science and in life.

I always looked forward to seeing Mr. Weimer at the bank that I work at. He always had a smile and a funny story to share. He will be greatly missed.

Mr. Weimer was an amazing educator who helped change the trajectory of my life in so many ways. Aside from chemistry, advanced chemistry and physics that he taught me during my sophomore through senior years, he interspersed life lessons throughout the daily science curriculum that had a lasting impact on my journey through adolescence and ultimately adulthood. The first thing that I learned from him was that life is not fair. I had never heard that expression until I met Mr. Weimer. Although I thought the expression to be rather harsh at the time, I soon realized what he was trying to teach us. The lesson was that regardless of your current circumstances, whether they be fair or otherwise, you cannot let that consume your thinking and undermine your thought process. You ultimately have to stay focused on outcomes. Some variables are measurable and quantifiable while others are abstract and theoretical. Fairness is abstract so you can't hold onto something that is intangible. However, hard work and a commitment to excellence are measurable and he crystalized that message for us every day in his classroom. 
The second thing that he encouraged me to do, was read to my children every night before they go to bed. When my wife and I became parents, I took heed to his message and read to my children every single night until they were able to read us a bed time story. Fast forward 18 years later, our daughter graduated in the top 5% of her high school class of 2,500 students, was a member of the National Honor Society, won Scholar Athlete Award 3 consecutive years and graduated with a 4.3 GPA. My son is a 5th grader, President of the student council and reads at a high school level while my 2nd grade daughter is following in her siblings' footsteps. Our children are an embodiment of the belief system that Mr. Weimer instilled in us, so many years ago and a testament to his legacy as an educator.
Although Mr. Weimer taught us that life is not fair, it's still hard to accept that he is no longer physically here with us. However, I know he would be encouraged and proud that his teaching not only touched me but has become a part of my family's DNA that is an integral part of who we are. My children value learning and excellence because Mr. Weimer demanded that we put our best foot forward, make a commitment to being the best that we could be and see past our circumstances. Life may not be fair, but Mr. Weimer was always fair, he always cared and he is still influencing the next generation. He will truly be missed and I hope his family will take comfort in knowing how much he was loved by the students that he taught throughout his career.

Dear Weimer Family, 
Words cannot truly express what an impact Mr Weimer has had on my life and the lives of countless others. 
You are in my family's prayers.

Dear Weimer Family, 
There are no words to express the grief felt for your loss. May the love of family and friends bring you strength.
Deepest Sympathy, Steve and Deanna (Elias) Close

Thank you, Mr Weimer. Because you believed in us, we believed in ourselves. The labs, the lessons, the time, the attention... you gave us that and so much more. Because of who you are, we are gifted with the opportunity to carry a part of your legacy with us always. KISS (smile)
My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Mr Weimer. Thank you for sharing this great and wonderful man with us for so many years. C/O '91

Mr. Weimer was a truly remarkable teacher. He was a huge influence and part of me becoming an Engineer. The tools and methods he used in his classes prepared me and my classmates for college...Even beyond that; life. I am truly grateful to have been a student of his for Chemistry, Advanced Chemistry, and Physics. We should all strive to live in true purpose, class, and influence as he did. He will be missed. 

Class of 1999.

Mr. Weimer, the best Chemistry EVER. I learned so much from him. I never liked Science until I took his class in the 10th grade at Dunbar. I don't think that I have yet to meet someone who had the art of sarcasm down to a "science." I enjoyed his class and the way he taught us. A very good man and he will be missed dearly. Rest in Heaven Mr. Weimer!

Dunbar C/O 96

I am saddened to see that Pete Weimer passed away.  He was such a nice man. I worked at Dunbar H.S. with Pete for 20 years. He told me as he was retiring, "Beverly, you're a class act and I have enjoyed working with you."  Weimer family, please know that Pete was a class act to me and I'm very glad that I got to meet him and work with him. May your memories be many and pleasant. Beverly Alves Foster

Want to offer my sincere condolences to the Weimer family. Mr. Weimer had a huge impact on my schooling at Dunbar High School and was instrumental in my college career. Mr. Weimer was by far my favorite teacher and  I hate to hear of his passing. Keeping all that loved him in my prayers. Sincerely,Jamaica WhiteDunbar Class of 1999

Our condolences to Pete Weimer's family.
We have fond memories of Pete. WE shared many good times training and competing at the Kettering YMCA Judo Club.

I am who I am today because of Mr. Weimer and Mr. Rogacki. I still use the methods Weimer thought me when I solve problems. He will live on through his Dunbar students for sure. Dunbar Class of 1999.

I am thankful for all that I learned in Mr. Weimer's class. He truly cared about us as students and because of his high expectation and genuine concern he is a widely respected teacher. As a 1997 graduate I remember our conversations about the SAT, labs in class, and his funny college stories! He has contributed to many success stories ! Thank You to his family for sharing him with us...with Dunbar High School! I pray for your strength during this time.

Mr. Weimer was an excellent  Teacher and role model. He had a great impact on our lives and education and will never be forgotten. Prayers and sincere condolences to the Weimer family. Rest in Heaven Mr. Weimer.

Words cannot adequately express how much Pete's friendship has meant to me over the years.  He was like my older brother to whom you could always turn for advice.  Pete was the smartest man I've ever known - he knew so much about everything and he always knew just what to say.  My memories of him are the best - our many victories over the students in our after school basketball games, the daily lunch conversations, our trips to Florida and California, cheering at the Flyer games until we were worn out.  Pete was an awesome teacher.  The comments of his former students reveal the love and respect with which he was held, what a lasting legacy he left.  But he was an even greater person - husband, brother, friend - a truly caring man.  I will never forget you my friend, and my prayers will always be with your family.

I am so sorry to hear about Pete, he was a good guy & I always enjoyed talking to him when I work at Kroger. He will be missed by everyone he touched .   My deepest condolences.                                                                               .

I will always remember how Pete welcomed me to play basketball with his friends and other teachers at Dunbar and Longfellow.  We had some great games.  I also will not forget how kind he was to my daughter when he met her and what a great friend he has been to my brother over the years.  Pete is a man in the best sense of the word.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the Weimer Family.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Weimer's passing.  The third floor of Dunbar had great staff and students who cared and respected each other. He will be missed.

Laura M. Lewis

Pete will always be remembered with fond thoughts and memories. He made my time at Dunbar fun and educational. Prayers and warmest thoughts going to the Weimer family.

Our sincere and deepest condolences go out to Jan, Rachel, Jon (Shelby), Annie and the entire Weimer family.  May you find some small comfort in knowing how much Pete was loved and remembered by his faculty members, many many students and friends.  We will remember him as such a fun loving guy, and caring father to Jon.  May you find solace and peace during this very difficult time.  

Carolyn and Jim Gillis

To the Weimer  family I send my deepest condolences. Mr. Weimer has always been a favorite teacher to me. He and  Mr. Donisi  made science a subject of interest. 
As other Paul L. Dunbar students have mentioned he will be remembered as a great teacher who chose to stay and teach at our school. A great Physiology instructor.
Dunbar Class of 1980

You will be missed Mr. Weimer...you were a great Chemistry teacher !  Your student from the class of 1988... Marcia Hicks ( Drummond)

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Weimer family. Pete possessed much knowledge of RS Prussia and he generously shared this knowledge. He was loved by many and will be missed greatly by the R.S. Prussia Collectors Club.

May Mr. Weimer Rest in Heaven, he was a fine man and awesome teacher!

Please accept my condolences and may the Weimer family find solace and peace during this most difficult time.

We will greatly miss Pete at the RS Prussia convention.  His friendliness and willingness to share his vast knowledge of RS Prussia and related leaves a big hole in our Prussia family.  Our condolences to all his family.  May God hold you in His hands.

To the family of Mr. Weimer:

What an OUTSTANDING teacher! Words cannot express the tremendous impact he has had on the students of Dayton Public Schools over the years.  The Dunbar High School class of 1991 humbly salutes you Mr. Weimer. Many condolences to the Weimer family.

Bob and I extend our deepest sympathies to all Pete's family and friends, which are legion. Pete was a great guy. Always a good time when Pete was around! He will be missed. Our prayers are with you all.
Dale R. Bowser and Robert E. Bowden

Jan thank you for letting me take care of your husband when I first met you guys I knew that you were special people thank you so much for letting us take care of him and may God bless you and the kids

My deepest condolensences to the Weimer family. I had the pleasure of having Mr. Weimer for chemistry at Dunbar High. To this day I still speak of him and the fun but educational things we done in class. My favorite memory would be him saying "You should done!" He was an awesome teacher, having a great impact on so many young lives. I am honored to say that I had him for a teacher.

I am so thankful to have met Mr. Weimer. He was and is my favorite teacher of all time. The impact he had on DPS-Dunbar students is unmatched. I don't believe I will ever meet anyone more witty than this guy. His beautiful spirit changed many lives. The Weimer family is in my prayers and thoughts.

To The Weimer Family:
Heaven has gained a real GEM! Mr. Weimer was an exceptional man and a great teacher. I dont think anybody walked out of Dunbar without receiving the knowledge this man had to offer.  You will be missed Mr. Weimer, but knowing that you are with our Heavenly Father, brings peace and comfort to those who crossed your path. God Bless!

Mr. Weimer made me love chemistry. He showed me I had a lot of potential if I worked just a little harder in life. You will be missed dearly.

Dear family, friends and dignified coworkers, and finally students, so many times we don't think much of those we had as teachers or coworkers but I can truly say growing up that there were three men and one woman whom left a lifetime impression on on me . Mr Wiemer  and his b.i.s.e.p coworkers my sophomore summer he and Mr Shoeman,  MR.Doniisi, and Mrs. Tucker  made sciencephalitis som alive for ragtag  Group of students you changed all of our lives. Since u was one of the selected few.that got to attend this prestigious program I also got to see the human side of my teachers something I never would have noticed during the school year. Mr Wiemer was a funny man a jokester  loved to pick on Me Shoeman and tell him to get a real job , he would tell Mrs Tucker not to blow up the school and tease MerDonosi for being nitpicking  yet the four of rhem.were close as could be and showed me a nerd that you could be smart and have friends  too. That being an adult was not  going to be bad. 
Mr Wiemer was smart hard on you but worth your time.
Thank you for teaching me about life.

We extend our deepest sympathy to the Weimer family.  We enjoyed knowing him and seeing him at our annual RS Prussia convention.  Pete had a great sense of humor and was very knowledgeable on RS Prussia.  He will be missed by all.

Thank you Mr. Weimer for believing in inner city kids and dedicating your life's work to constructing and facilitating a future for us. Thank you for illustrating that our dreams were not far-fetched, unattainable, and unrealistic. Thank you for challenging me and compelling me to see the world in its multiple dimensions. Your role as an educator truly has left an imprint on so many young people's lives! You have reached the depths of many and I am mostly thankful that I got a chance to be in the presence of your magic.  My love and condolences go out to friends and family of Dunbar's beloved, Mr. Weimer.

I'm so sad by this news, Mr. Weimer will always be remembered, he made science so much fun, I tell people a lot about the time when he made the whole class hold hands and he shocked all of us, lol, he made science so interesting and he will definitely be missed, my condolences to his family, I'm truly sorry for your loss, he was a very smart and brilliant man

I extend my deepest sympathy to the Weimer family.  I enjoyed working with Pete at Dunbar High School.  We had fun times and great laughs!  Rest in peace.

With deepest sympathy. Your friendship and RS Prussia knowledge will be greatly missed. You and your family are in our prayers.

In shock....what a great teacher! He loved his students and Dunbar HS! He always pushed you beyond your limits and made science applicable and fun! 
Also, he was so proud when his students came back to share about life, school and working in the real world. Your Dunbar HS graduates are still trying to make you proud. 
He had such an impact on us all! 
Rest in peace Mr. Weimer. You will be missed. 
God's blessings to your family during this time.

My prayers and blessings to Mr. Weimer's family and friends. 
Cherished memory of an amazing man, teacher, and blessing to many. I am a 1989 graduate from Dayton Dunbar High School where Mr. Weimer taught me chemistry. To this day, I tell people how much of a great teacher he was. I am thankful that I had him. He suggedted that I go to medical school but instead I chose a career in nursing and later obtained my Master's Degree. A few years ago, I was asked to talk to a group of students at Dunbar about nursing. While there, I went to Mr. Weiner's class to tell him how much my experience in his class and how his encouragement to enter the medical field impacted my life. Tears  poured down my face as I told him that he made a difference in my life. He thanked me in his cool, laid back manner with an appreciative smile.  Mr. Weimer could've taken his gift of teaching to any other school district.  Instead, he stayed in a district that needed him!  Forever in our hearts!

R.I.P Mr Weimer. ..a great teacher and my inspiration for achieving my BS in Chemistry.  You will be missed.  Derek Hogue c/o '91!

I hated science before I met Mr. Weimer.  He challenged me in so many ways and made chemistry my favorite subject.  His influence on my life is immeasurable.  Thank you, Mr. Weimer!  Dunbar c/o '98

Mr. Weimer was the best teacher ever and always challenged his students to strive for greatness. Until this day (class of 01) I still have my advanced chemistry notebook! He will forever be missed. Sending my thoughts and prayers to his family.

Mr. Weimer was my favorite teacher and one of the most influential teachers I had at Dunbar High School! He always made it fun to learn, especially with his dry humor! My favorite line of his was "I took the test and I got an A!" Whenever I went back to Dunbar, to visit after graduation, I would make sure I stopped by his class to say Hello. He will definitely be remembered and missed by the many students who's lives he touched! Rest peacefully Mr. Weimer. My prayers and condolences to his family and friends.

To the family.  Please accept my most sincere condolences for your loss of you family member.  I'm not one of his students, nor a close friend, I just wanted to say feel proud, he sounds like a wonderful man.  Most people never get to experience the riches you have enjoyed over the years.  I'll be praying for you....and remember love never dies and you will see him again.  Much Love!!

A very influential man and a great teacher. Rest in peace, Mr. Weimer.

The best Chemistry teacher ever!!! My prayers are for the Weimer family. I'm so glad that he was my teacher and he made an impression on my life when it comes to science. His impact on Dunbar High School will felt for many years.  I teach science now because Mr. Weimer taught me, rest in peace.

Mr. Weimer, you will definitely be missed.  You were one of the best teachers I've ever had, and thanks to you, you re-kindled my love for science.  You've touched my life as well as the lives of many, many people during your lifetime. May God bless your family and friends and everyone who knew and loved you.

Mr. Weimer, you were one of my favorite teachers. Thank you for words of wisdom. You are one of the reasons why I'm a chemist.

One of the best teachers I have had. Mr. Weimer is the reason why I have the love that I have for Chemistry. Sorry for your lost.

I remember having Mr. Weimer at Dunbar High School for Chemistry, he was an excellent teacher and will truly be missed.  My prayers are with your family at this time.  Makita Walker Dunbar High C/O 1999.

Pete Weimer motivated me to be a better student and a better person at a pivotal time in my life. Without him, I doubt that I would have achieved half of what I have today. I will always remember and appreciate the words of wisdom he gave me. May he rest in peace.

Wow! Mr. Weimer was an amazing teacher and one of the best at Dunbar. I'm sure I speak for many students he had at Dayton Dunbar in saying how he made chemistry fun providing a foundation you carried through college. God Bless him and his family!

One of the best teachers I have ever had. I had good memories of his classes. He will be missed.

Always ready to share information he had and research what he didn't know. He was informative, interesting & fun ....... a really great guy who will be missed by everyone. I know that the Prussia collectors will often utter the phrase, "wish Pete was here". We will all miss him. RIP Pete.

One of the most influential teachers and men I've ever known. A great guy that did great work on the earth. You will be missed Mr. Weimer.

May the light Peter brought to the lives of his family and friends and those wonderful memories always shine bright in your heart.
