Gary Weiler was born on Oct. 10, 1940, in the town of Bern, Athens, Wisconsin, to Henry and Rachael (Niemuth) Weiler. He attended grade school in Hewitt and later in Marshfield.

In 1960, Gary joined the 32nd Infantry Division of the Army National Guard. He went to Fort Lewis, Washington, in 1961-1962, for the Berlin Crisis.

In 1964, he married Norma Henninger – they later divorced. Then he married Janet Gergs on Oct. 28, 1972.

Gary was a heavy equipment operator for 38 years, retiring in 2002. He was a member of Local 139 Operators Union for 55 years; and a member of Gust Gym and boxed in Golden Gloves as a young adult. He was still acting as Director of Squared Circle until he passed; and also volunteered at Saint Vincent’s Outreach. He enjoyed deer hunting, always getting his deer, and working in the woods. Gary was always willing to help his neighbors bale hay and jumped at any excuse to get on his bulldozer.

He is further survived by grandchildren, Chase, Fletcher, and Shane Podosek of Garden Grove, California; brothers, Del, Keith (Sandy), Barry (Myra), Todd, and Russ (Denise); and sister, Melody (Neal) West; sisters-in-law, Joyce Weiler, and Marilyn Weiler.
