Weldon was one of the kindest men I have ever had the privilege to know. I loved and admired him. He was an incredibly spiritual and respectable man. He loved his wife and family and was loyal to his friends. He thought of others first, always doing anything necessary to share the love of God with others which he carried around in his heart. He was a great leader of men, willing to stand against evil, and always trying to reconcile peace among people. Weldon was a fine Christian example, and I was proud to call him my friend.
