WEILER--George Henry, III. George Henry Weiler of Bronxville, NY, born in Philadelphia to Jeanne and George H. Weiler, Jr., died suddenly and without warning from a massive heart attack playing tennis at The Bronxville Field Club. Mr. Weiler grew up in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania and Ridgewood, New Jersey, where he graduated from Ridgewood High School. He earned a B.A. from Yale University, a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, and completed a Rockefeller fellowship at Harvard University. Mr. Weiler started his career as a civil rights lawyer in Washington. He won every case. He then started his financial services career in 1984 at Dillon Read in Corporate & Executive Services where he headed the group. He continued in this role at SBC Warburg Dillon Read and later UBS Warburg through a series of mergers. In 2000, George joined UBS Wealth Management US as Senior Vice President. He successfully led The Weiler Financial Services Group there. George Weiler was a man for all seasons with diverse interests and an engaging intellect. He was most happy when he was connecting with people and every new connection resulted in a friendship. He lived the best part of a Christian life - reaching out to others, always seeking better understanding of life and never missing a moment - singing with the Yale Glee Club around the world tour, fighting to save a Church with the Committee to Save St. Barts, running on the beach in Nauset, Cape Cod, campaigning for Romney and every other candidate who could make the world a better place. He adored his family and they adored him. In addition to his beloved wife Mary Ann, George is survived by his four children Katherine Weiler Crane, Blair Weiler, Winston Weiler, Christina Weiler and one grandchild Philippe Crane III, his siblings, Wendy Weiler Chappell of Franklin Lakes, NJ, Christopher Weiler of Wyckoff, NJ, Patricia Weiler Thiess of Pittsburgh, PA and Pamela Weiler Colling of Midland Park, NJ. Services will be held On Monday June 3, at 11am at the Reformed Church of Bronxville, 180 Pondfield Rd, Bronxville NY. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Reformed Church of Bronxville or the American Heart Association.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. While I did not know George personally, a few weeks ago, I was sitting behind him in church and noticed him as being truly loving and attentive toward his children--a beautiful sight. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear MaryAnn, Winston, and Christina,
We love you all so much and are so sorry for your loss.
George was a true Renaissance man. I remember him pouring over a pile of newspapers each day. He had so many diverse interests. He was passionate about life and learning. I remember how George loved to discuss ideas and the way he could stay with a topic in the middle of a busy group
He loved you dearly. You must have overwhelming sadness.
May each day find you one step closer to a place of gentle peace and warm remembering.
With our love, Maureen, Ryan, and Annie

Dear Maryann,
George and I first met at Boleterri Tennis where we discovered we were both from Bronxville with daughters in the same class! I liked him very much immediately and we became tennis partners for the remainder.
George was an extremely kind, interesting, classy, and sincere man. I know my daughter Christina adores your Christina very much and we are both so sad for you loss.
Sincerely,

Although we were in the same class at Yale, I first met George at Harvard Divinity School, which we both attended on Rockefeller fellowships. I remember him as warm, witty and very friendly, as well as studious and serious. My sincere condolences and best wishes to his family and friends.

Dear Mary Ann, Winston and Christina,
Fred and I first met George at a class event when Aidan and Winston went to first grade together at Bronxville Elementary. His warmth as a person and strong intellect stood out immediately but not as much as the very evident love he felt for his children. We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing and your loss. God bless and love from all the Bonds, xo Mary Louise

George and I first knew each other in the St. Bartholomew's Community Club. He was one of the most cordial, genuinely nice people I have ever met. A fine man. May God bless and rest George's soul.
