Weldon attended East High School and spent his career working at the National Fire Hose. He was a man of simple pleasures who loved reading books/magazines, watching television, especially his favorite teams, the OSU Buckeyes, Dallas Mavericks, and the Kansas City Chiefs. He also loved playing cards and listening to his oldies but goodies music. Weldon was known for his favorite saying: "Can you do me a favor?" which will forever echo in the hearts of those who were fortunate to cross his path.
