Not sure what to say?

I had known Dr. Chuck Welby since I joined the former Department of Geosciences in the fall of 1976. I interacted with him during faculty meetings and departmental seminars. I enjoyed talking to him and listening to his extensive experience in geology. My last contact with him was several years ago when he moved closer to one of his children. He will be greatly missed.
