Birth date: Sep 3, 1912 Death date: Sep 29, 2004
Fr. John was born in Columbia, IL, son of the late John and Lena (Wenkel) Weissler.He attended Immaculate Conception Catholic grade school, St. Henry's Seminary, Belleville, IL, Mission, TX Oblates, and was ordained a priest on Ju Read Obituary
Father Weissler was a great mentor to me and I feel the things he taught me have been instrumental to much of the success I have had in life. He taught me to be strong in my faith, be vigilant in my politics and always be honest. If you have these traits, you will be successful. Father Weissler was a great person.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Father John was a devoted priest who cared for his parish family and all in need.
I personally celebrate Father John's devoted religious life to our Lord and His Blessed Mother Mary. He will remain with all who cared and respected him.
He never swayed from his faith, his teachings and the life he respected...the priesthood.
I thank God for having had Father John as a friend and always a respected devoted priest.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Susan O'Malley

Was so sorry to hear about Father Weissler. He was a near and dear friend of my Father Lee Hodkin here in Carthage. My Father was the Contractor on most of the construction work at Our Lady of the Ozarks and the Oblate Press. I will miss getting my annual Christmas card from Father Weissler. I remember that Father Weissler and George frequently visit my Father on Sunday afternoons. Please extend my deepest Sympathy to Sister Mary Joan and the rest of his family. He was a fine and devout gentleman.
Our deepest sympathy, goes out to your family. Father married us in Carthage, MO at St. Ann's on Sept. 8,1979. This year we celebrated our 25th anniversary. May God Bless.
The world will miss father very much, he was a great leader and teacher
