GUNTRAM WEISSENBERGER Obituary
His path, which started in a small village in Upper Austria, led him across the Atlantic to America, where Congressman (and later president) John F. Kennedy personally introduced legislation in Congress to make him a citizen of the United States.
Guntram Weissenberger's life story covers the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, his escape from military service and sure death, his pursuit of studies on two continents resulting in two Master's degrees in archi-tecture and engineering, a Master's degree from the Harvard Business School, as well as a doctor's degree.
His defeat of incurable cancer, his achievements as a sailor, wind surfer, alpine skier and golfer, but also his skills as an artist, author and Entrepreneur are remarkable.
He is survived by his wife Eva, his daughter Nina and his son Guntram Jr. As per his wishes he will be laid to rest in his home town of Frankenmarkt in Austria where he was distin-guished as an honorary citizen.

I had the joy of knowing Mr. Weissenberger and he was a font of knowledge, told ribald stories, was always a wonderful man and generous to a fault. It is our loss that he no longer graces the world. You have my deepest sympathies.

I had many happy memories working for Westover Companies managing Rosetree Crossing and Gayley Park apartments. I just found and purchased Guntram's book "My Town a Builder's Life". I had hoped to have Guntram autograph the book for me. Guntram may you rest in peace. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to your family.

Guntram was, and still is, a true inspiration for his fellow townsmen of his home town of Frankenmarkt in Austria. In addition to Austrian's youth, especially for me, Guntram is a extraordinary role model I admire profoundly.
I would like to express my deepest condolences to family Weissenberger. May he rest in peace...

Guntram left his mark in Upper Merion.
He cared about aesthetics in the community. I enjoy working with him in the 70's on his Allendale Building.Enjoyed his autobiography. So sorry for your loss.
