Peter Oneill Weimar ’54

Pete Weimar died of cancer on Christmas 1996, surrounded by his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. He had been seriously ill for a very long time but insisted on living life as usual, even making long trips to the Far East as a production consultant when he had to be helped on and off planes.

When Pete graduated from Notre Dame H.S. in New Haven, bulldog coach Herman Hickman was sure he would go on to Yale. Pete chose to play football for Princeton and started at defensive tackle as a sophomore on the outstanding 1951 varsity team.

As an undergraduate, Pete majored in economics, belonged to Cannon Club, and roomed in Hamilton with John Jenkin, Jerry Muys, and Bob Taylor. He went on to a distinguished career as v.p. of manufacturing for Kentile Floors, general manager of Tuck Tape, and an independent consultant.

Peter, a grandnephew of playwright Eugene O'Neill '06, leaves a large family and many friends. The class extends its most sincere condolences to his wife, Barbara, his children, Harold, Daniel, Walter, Veronica, Shirley, and Sondra, and his six grandchildren. He was predeceased by his son Peter Jr.
