Dear: Welch family,
My sincere condolences go out too each and everyone of you. I only new Mr. Al as I called him for two years and he was one of the finest men I have had the pleasure of meeting, and working with. Always with that twinkle in his eye,and quick wit.and it truly saddens me that we lost another American Hero from what I consider to be our finest generation.He will truly be missed but not forgotten.

Pat,
I will miss your father's warm smile and wonderful conversations. He never came to the credit union that we didn't ALL feel better after his visit. We knew we were walking with a hero and someone who not only lived during historic times and events, but helped to make them! My prayers are with you and your family, and I know that he's surely enjoying seeing Jesus! May God wrap His arms around you all with a comfort that only He can give!

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I worked very closely with Mr. Al and will miss him very much. I learned a lot from Mr. Al over the years. Mr. Al changed my perspective on life in a most positive way.
I know he's in a much better place now with his wife.
I'll miss him a lot.
