He was born July 11, 1922 in rural Kaukauna, the son of Peter and Margaret (Ott) Weiler. He was a member of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, Stevens Point. He received his bachelor's degree from St. Norbert College in West De Pere and a master's degree from UW-Madison. He did additional graduate study at Cornell University, Western Michigan University, and the University of Georgia. First a teacher on the secondary level, he served on the faculties of what are now Premontre and Abbot Pennings High Schools in the Green Bay area, and then at public high schools in Crivitz, Elroy, Kiel and Union Grove. In 1963 he joined the faculty of UW-Stevens Point. He was instrumental in helping develop a math education program to train elementary and secondary teachers.
