FATHER'S DAY SPECIAL: Chuck Weaver is a former Illinois State Senator and Peoria city councilman, he has been involved in nearly 100 different LLCs, he has chaired many organizations including the United States Polo Association, the Association of Kentucky Fried Chicken Franchisees, and the Peoria County Republican Central Committee.

He’s been a father figure to literally thousands as an employer, mentor, and small business investor an as well as being an actual father to 3 and a grandfather to 6 soon to be 7 grandkids.

He’s a very special person to me as 50% of my DNA came from him. He taught me how to ride horses, multiply by 9s with my fingers, throw a spiral, shoot a free throw as well as shoot a shotgun—he taught me how to treat people with respect, work hard, honor my creator, love my family and quite frankly just how to do things the right way. I still learn from him every day.
