Lawrence George Weyer was born on Oct. 25, 1944, in Loyal to Michael C. and Mary A. (Walter) Weyer. He was raised on the family farm, and received his education in Loyal, graduating from Loyal High School in 1962. After competing high school, Hap served in the U.S. Army Reserve. He was united in marriage to JoAnn R. Young on Aug. 12, 1967, at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Loyal. They built a home in 1967, southwest of Loyal, and farmed for many years, until selling the farm in 1996. They continued to live in the home they built until the present time. He then worked as a welder for Tom Loos, and at Nelson Muffler in Neillsville until it closed. Hap never fully retired. You could always find him driving tractor for other farmers, or helping others in any way he could.
He was a member of the Loyal American Legion Post 175, and had many interests, but especially enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, hunting, bowling, shooting pool, playing cards, welding, and pulling tractors.
Hap will be missed by his wife, JoAnn, of Loyal; two sons: Duane (Diane) of Mosinee and Todd (Christy) of Belleville; two grandchildren: Brandon Weyer and Samantha (Dan) Craft; five great-grandchildren: Sydney, Lyndsey, Colton, Malakai, and Evan; nine siblings: Joan Lindner of Marshfield, Shirley Lindner of Loyal, Tom (Dawn) Weyer of Greenwood, Rosemary Volovsek of Marshfield, Pat (Gary) Rhinehart of Anchorage, Alaska, Chris (Jeff) Parker of Loyal, Peter Weyer of Neillsville, Paul (Cindy) Weyer of Loyal, Mark (Nan) Weyer of Loyal; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Dennis; one brother, John Weyer; one sister, Mary Ellen Volovsek; four brothers-in-law: Mike Volovsek, Dave Volovsek, Art Lindner, and LaVerne “Pete” Lindner; and one sister-in-law, Andrea Weyer.
