Boyd Weekley, age 71, of East Bethel died February 20, 2017 at his home. Graveside service will be held at a later date in Ft. Snelling National Cemetery.
Back in the early 1960’s Boyd and his father and mother would come to Park Rapids, MN to visit my father and mother (Vern and Ruth Weekley). They would then travel on to Itasca State Park to camp in a tent for a few days and take me along. Boyd and I would swim, hike, canoe and also chase raccoons when the sun went down. One night we forgot to zip up the tent we were in and during the night we had a not so friendly visitor and there was pandemonium inside that dark tent until we chased the raccoon out! I also recall Boyd thin and tall in his blue US Airforce uniform. God bless you and comfort you at this difficult time. Ben Weekley
