Possible, but I don't really see a need for him to be a Hunter. Weiss' grandfather started the company and when he became too old, he most likely handed it to his son. His son in turn will probably hand it off to Weiss. The difference is that they grew up in very different times. The White Fang first started becoming violent only five years ago and so the future leader would need the skills required to defend her company. Weiss' father on the other hand may have had no such need growing up and instead focused his efforts on the business side of things. There is also no need to actually become a Hunter an can just train with a weapon to Hunter levels.

But this is all speculation. It would be hilarious if her dad turned out to be really happy and bubbly.
