Charles L. Weldon

Chuckie Weldon was our neighbor down the street. We rode ponies, swam in and ice skated on Kinnikinnick Creek. Chuck had a bad crush on my older sister, Karin. So he used to hang at our house and do guy things to impress her, like climb to the top of the swing and then leap down to the lower bar.

We would be running the ponies along the creek and Chuck would show off his physical prowness by leaping off his pony (Blue Boy was one) and belly flop into the creek about 10 feet way....

I will never forget tubing, swimming in the creek, and Strawberry the deer. Much love to you all. I miss you all very much. ❤

So sad to hear about Chuck. We had many good outings in his woods. Many times he stopped by my apartment for a visit. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I'm very saddened to hear of your loss. Chuck and I became "best" friends in 5th grade at kinnikinnick. I have so many memories coming to mind of growing up in Roscoe. We started tax invasion at Budd's grocery by buying our Suzie-Q's one at a time for 12 cents each because if we bought them together they would charge us a penny tax. We could ice skate on Kinnikinnick creek from his house to mine by the time we got there we were pretty wet and cold from falling thru the ice. One year Chuck got...

I feel the same as Dale does. There well never be another like him. RIP Chuck.

Truly will be missed. Close to 40 years ago my first remembrance was observing an ultralight buzzing overhead in Roscoe. Somebody said "Oh that's crazy Chuck" Didn't know him at the time until I bought a house just down the street. Buds for quite some time. Memories forever. Hangin in the garage, ATVing around Roscoe, feeding the fish, getting stuck in the creek, late night adventures in the woods. What a time! Chuck and Diane were very good to me during that period. Giving family man,...

Growing up in Roscoe Illinois when the population until 1975 was only 450 people as noted on the sign coming into Roscoe on Hwy 51 always reminds me of Home. In our small village were the boys of Roscoe that would attend school at Kinnikinnick Grade School. And later go to Hononegah High School. In that bunch in the 60s and 70s was our friend Chuck Weldon. So glad Chuck stayed in Roscoe over the years since so many of us haven't lived there in over 45 years. There were so many stories i could...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Chuck and I have been friends for many years. We have had many fun times together in the past. Bon fires, hay rides, time at the cabin on women lake and sharing jokes and lies. Sometimes life is too short for the people who truly enjoy life like Chuck did. I would like to send my condolences to the family and let you know that I will miss him and hope that he is in a better place now. One of the better jokes that we shared recently was; Why don't blind people like to skydive? The answer is...
