He was named Queen's Counsel in 1954, served as president of many boards in health care, law and education, supported St. Joseph's Heritage, and was made a Knight Commander of the Order of St. Gregory by Pope John Paul II. He was a life member of the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society and a contributor to Papers and Records; his wife is listed among the life members as Mrs. G. B. Weiler. The tribute is in Memorial: G. Bernard Weiler (1997).[1][2]
