His ongoing commitment to the U.S. Army Reserve until July 1962 delayed his joining the staff full-time for another season; after again umpiring some International League games, he worked some NL games in August 1962, filling in for Chris Pelekoudas, who was recuperating from abdominal surgery, then became a full member of the league staff in 1963 to replace the retired Dusty Boggess.
He often liked to dig trenches on either side of home plate to expose the black edge portions, which are often borderline pitches between balls and strikes.
In 1980, after a spring training episode of bronchitis, Weyer was diagnosed as having Guillain–Barré syndrome, a potentially life-threatening disorder which can affect muscle control and even cause blindness.
Weyer resided in Imlay City until 1969, when he relocated to the Atlanta area; he later moved to Los Angeles in 1977 and to Lauderdale Lakes, Florida in 1985.
He married Gay Valentine Clem on November 2, 1963,[6] divorcing approximately ten years later, which he mainly attributed to her difficulty in adjusting to his umpiring career.
