Mr. Weyman was a past member of the National Association of Purchasing Managers, Columbiana Rotary Club, Columbiana Park Board and served as president of the Columbiana Village School Board in 1953. He was a member of the Avalon Lodge 0657 F.&A.M. Masonic Lodge in Avalon, PA since 1947 and a present member of the Benjamin Firestone Post #290 American Legion in Columbiana.

A veteran of World War II, he served with Merrill's Mauraders and the Mars Task Force as they fought the Japanese to open the Burma Road. He was stationed in Shanghai ready to go to Japan when the A-bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Mr. Weyman was part of the China, Burma, and India Theater for three years and was also a Bronze Star Recipient. He leaves his wife, Lois Resler Weyman whom he married in Pittsburgh, PA on June 25, 1949. They enjoyed 61 glorious years.
