Harry R. Weakley
Funeral services for Harry R. Weakley, of Gallatin were Monday, July 19 at 1:00 p.m. from St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Gallatin. Interment followed in Crestview Memorial Park. He was 97 years old. Honorary pallbearers are members of the Gallatin Noon Rotary Club, employees of CEMC, and members of the Gallatin Country Club. Pallbearers were his grandsons, son-in-law and Reggie Mudd. Weakley passed away on July 16, 2010 at Gallatin Health Care. Born November 11, 1912 on a farm near Neptune, TN (Cheatham County) and raised in Springfield, he was the son of the late R.L. Weakley and Anne Fambrough Weakley. Among his ancestors are his grandfather, George Washington Weakley, who served as an officer in the Army of the Tennessee during the Civil War, and John Fambrough, who died at Valley Forge while in the Continental Army. The devoted husband of Kathleen (Kitty) Wettstein; St. Cecelia Academy class of 1934; they were married on December 12, 1940. She preceded him in death February 3, 1994. He is also preceded in death by his three sisters, Mildred Weakley, Martha Bell and Mary Edith Lane, and by a grandson, Patrick Jenkins.Mr. Weakley graduated from Springfield High at age 16 and proudly attended UT-Knoxville that fall of 1929. The onset of the Great Depression in Tennessee forced Weakley to return to Springfield, halfway toward completion of his degree requirements with the Class of 1933. In April, 1940, he became the 17th employee of Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation. Rising rapidly within the business, four years later he was offered the District Manager position in Gallatin, which he accepted and held for over 30 years until his retirement in 1978. Weakley was active in a number of civic organizations during his lifetime. He was one-time president of the Gallatin Chamber of Commerce, serving in that capacity in 1975. Weakley was a longtime secretary-treasurer and a proud “Paul Harris Fellow” of the Rotary Club, in which he was a member from 1950 until his death. Since 1965, Weakley had been a member of the Gallatin Country Club and greatly enjoyed the friendship of all there. Many years ago, friends named the willow tree he planted, that once protected the #7 green “Weakley’s Willow”, and about 1995 the G.C.C. awarded him a lifetime membership. He also served his hometown as a Lieutenant in the Gallatin Volunteer Fire Department for approximately the last 15 years of its volunteer status. He played a major part in saving Gallatin High School from a major fire, much to the chagrin of his children. But the greatest impact Weakley may have had on the Gallatin community, was in the area of youth sports and activities. In the mid-1950’s he organized and founded the first Little League Baseball organization in Sumner County, sometimes serving as coach but mostly as player-agent. He developed it out of a four-team church league he had founded three years earlier. Weakley founded the first-ever Cub Scout troup in Sumner County as well and arranged the Rotary Club to sponsor it. When the Gallatin High School Quarterback Club was revived by a half-dozen men in the early 1960’s, Weakley was its president the first five years and spearheaded the enlargement and improvements of the GHS Stadium. Three most notable changes during his tenure were increasing the capacity from a few hundred to approximately 2,500, the conversion of an old cannery to a field house, and the installation of the field lights and poles that were used through 2002. For the GHS basketball program Weakley ran the clock for all the home boys’ and girls’ varsity games for 26 years and in approximately 1985 he was awarded a lifetime pass to all GHS athletic events. Although raised a Methodist and never a communicant of the Catholic Church, his wife and children were, and he attended St. John Vianney Catholic Church many times. He considered his greatest achievement the upbringing and education of the five children he shared with Kathleen that survive him: Patricia Jenkins of Gatlinburg, Stephen (Sandra) Weakley of Gallatin, David Weakley of Butler, Tn, Beth (Jack) Brellenthin of Chattanooga and Sam Weakley of Memphis. All graduated from GHS and went on to earn their bachelor degrees. Other survivors include 10 grandchildren, and 19 great-grandchildren. On Father’s Day, 1960, he was named by a Gallatin newspaper “Father of the Year”. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Harry R. Weakley Memorial Scholarship Fund, C/O Gallatin Noon Rotary Club, P.O. Box 182 Gallatin, TN  37066, St. John Vianney Catholic Church Building Fund, 449 North Water Ave., Gallatin, TN  37066 or you may sign up your son or daughter for a youth sport.
