Mike Schaefer, Member, State Board of Equalization here; Jimmy was a great Hollywood-Los Feliz Kiwanis member, often sharing lunch and comradship with us, often speaking to clubs on patriotic topics, always a duck greeting(his nexus to fame). A nicer guy and more loyal friend you would not find. Salute! dear friend, so proud of your life. City of Burbank(his home) had a Jimmy Weldon day in formal Council session. MS

I saw Jimmy Weldon and Webster Webfoot back in the 60's in Seaside at the Del Rey Theatre, out front. He was so nice . I'll miss him. God Bless him.

I first saw Jimmy on TV in Fresno, CA. A great man of God that could befriend a little nobody like me. We attended the same church and continued a long distance friendship when he and Muriel moved to LA. I do miss him, but know we will meet again when I get called home to heaven.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jimmy andI were buddies in the 80's & 90's. He was extremely intelligent, an accomplished private "Bonanza" pilot, a great friend and a wonderful patriot. Besides his his acting and radio work, he was a very successful motivational speaker. Even after his wife Muriel passed away, he had more energy and zest for life than anyone I'd ever met. He was "one of a kind" and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

My condolences.

Jimmy was a great friend to my husband and me here in Burbank CA. He was a member of the Burbank Civitan Club in Burbank. He gave of himself in so many ways. His love for tlhis
Country was unending. He was loved and greatly missed.
