OBITUARY
WEIDENHAMMER, Carl Harry; 81; Allentown PA > Escondido CA; NC Times; 2002-1-10
Carl Harry Weidenhammer
Born in Allentown, Pa., May 1, 1920, the son of Harry Stoudt and Elizabeth Muth Weidenhammer. He was graduated from Allentown High School in 1937 and went to work for the Mack Truck Company until 1941 when his family moved to Endicott, N.Y. He then accepted employment with the IBM Corporation in Endicott.
In 1942 he enlisted in the Army Air Corps and took basic training at Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi, after which he was sent to England with the 8th Air Force where he was engaged in meteorological work. After his discharge he returned to Endicott and resumed his career with IBM.
On June 24, 1950, he married Marion Morgan, a registered nurse who trained at the Guthrie Clinic at the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pa. In 1952 they moved to Conshohocken, Pa., with their two children, Grant and Nancy, where he went to work for the Burroughs Company. He was transferred to the Los Angeles area by Burroughs and the family took up residence in Fountain Valley. In 1972 he moved to Escondido and was employed by NCR in Rancho Bernardo. He retired from NCR in 1975 following bypass surgery.
In his retirement, he spent many hours in his wood shop making furniture, and his last project, of which he was extremely proud, was a tall case clock. He was a serious oil painter and found much pleasure in decorative painting on wood, sometimes referred to as tole painting.
Carl was interested in the restoration and operation of antique cars and produced several trophy-winning examples. During his lifetime, he was the owner of several Model "T" Fords and a 1929 Essex.
He is survived by his wife, Marion, of 51 years; his daughter, Nancy Goodyear and his son-in-law, Robert J. Goodyear Jr., and their twin grandchildren, Jason and Jennifer of Meadow Vista, Calif. He is also survived by his sister, Mary Weidenhammer Smith and her husband, Elliott Carpenter Smith of Whitney Point, N.Y.; and a brother, James A. Weidenhammer and his wife Eleanor of Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
This is Jennifer's tribute to her grandfather:
My Grandpa's death was a terrible thing for all of us who knew him.
He died at 2 P.M. on Christmas Day. All of us were hoping he would live until after the holidays.
My Grandpa was a kind and cheerful man who always enjoyed being around people. His dog, Missile, was his life. He loved that dog with all his heart. He always made sure that he got fed and made sure he would be able to walk him before the day was over. He wanted to know where he was and to protect him from being out of the fence. I have never seen anybody love his dog as much as my Grandpa did. Missile was definitely my Grandpa's best friend.
I always enjoyed coming down to see him and my Grandma. There was always a bark from Missile waiting for us from the door.
The thing I remembered about him was he always enjoyed his dog and his mint chocolates.
Now I want to say this to you Grandpa: I hope you are in a better place and your soul rests with the Lord who made you and created you.
