Mr Greeneberg was born April 6, 1943, in Bloomington, a son of Leo and LaDonnah Williams Greeneberg.

Survivors included a son, Jeff (Cathy) Greeneberg, Bloomington; a daughter, Kara (Zac) Moline, Galesburg, MI; three grandchildren, Steven and Lexie Greeneberg and Jadyn Modine; a brother, Harlan (Jane) Greeneberg, Pontiac; and his best friend, Alice Schrodt, Kankakee.

His parents preceded him in death.

Weldon received his education in Bloomington.  He became a carrier for The Pantagraph at the age of 11.  He probably didn't realize he would embark on a newspaper career that would move him to his most recent position as circulation manager of the Daily Journal, Kankakee.  As a carrier, he won a trip to Brazil, along with other newspaper carriers from the United States.
