And you and Steve are swift,too. That Crumbos quite a guy. Always got something to say.Usually humerous,too. :growl: We're getting closer all the time on the new 20 car. Mom gave Ed 4G to work on the build. :rolleyes: This weekend we passed the second 4G mark. :eek: But with some ctreative LM parts sales,we havent been stuck too bad in the wallet. Still,not too bad for more or less a new car.
Just have one of those dumb lookin composite tops to get. Eds got about 4 or 5 graphics jobs this week, so I think hes gonna get to pay for it. Then bring on the dents. Oh well :p ......Later.............................BB

Ronald H. Weedon
1932 - 2005

Funeral services to Celebrate the Life of Ronald H. "Ronnie" Weedon, 72, a resident of Pleasant Valley, Iowa, will be 10 a.m. Friday, April 15, 2005, in the Grandstands of the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds, 2815 W. Locust St., Davenport. Burial will be in the National Cemetery, Rock Island Arsenal with military graveside rites conducted by Davenport American Legion Post #26. Visitation will be on Thursday from 3 until 8 p.m. in the Starlight Ballroom at the Fairgrounds.
Ronnie died on Monday, April 11, 2005, at his home following an accident while working on his Dirt Track Racecar.
He was born June 11, 1932, in Davenport, a son of Ronald H. and Virginia R. (Heiser) Weedon. He was united in marriage to Dolores J. "Dee" Clary on December 1, 1960, in Hannibal, Missouri.
He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict.
Ronnie retired in 1995 after 37 years of service for Strieter Motor Company. He had worked in the Body and Fender Department.
He was very active in the local Dirt-Track Racing arenas and had 504-feature race wins over a seven-decade career. Ronnie was a mentor for many young racers and always had time to assist others when somebody would ask for help. Each year local driver's are asked to vote for their pick as the best racer in their respective class and the best local racer overall for the award named for Ronnie, the Weedon Award. Those receiving the once in a lifetime award receive votes from their peers, with each team getting one vote. To read more about his illustrious racing career visit www.ronnieweedon.com. He loved to race and the family time spent at the track. Besides his wife, Dee, you could always count on seeing his faithful companion at the track, his dog Gidget.
Memorials can be made to the family.
Survivors include his wife, Dee; and children, Debbie (Mrs. Ron) Lane, Davenport, Ronnie Weedon, Davenport, Rob (Sandy) Connors, East Moline, Jerry Connors, Pleasant Valley, and Ginnie (Mrs. Rick) Schumann, Davenport; and his beloved seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, a sister, Eleanor Boley, also preceded him in death.

Published in the Quad-City Times on 4/13/2005.


 
Scott I am saving the newspaper articles from the Quad City's for you. Q-C Times and The Moline Dispatch and the Rock Island Argus have lots of coverage with pictures of Ronnie. I'l bring them to you. KWQC tv. in Davenport had a special tribute to Ronnie last night. They ran footage of him racing and of interviews with him. Phil Roberts and Gary Webb talked about how much Ronnie has contributed to dirt track racing.

I'l see you at the track my friend.

Ron
