John S. Welsh M.D.

He and Barbara were friends for years on Mt. Lemmon. They were a loving and fun couple to be with.

Gosh, he was my doctor for years. I saw him well into my 20's. I once asked his nurse how old I had to be that he wouldn't treat me. She replied 3 years younger than Dr. Welsh. He was a character and I always left chuckling about something he said. He saved my brothers life at the ER at St. Mary's Hospital one night and after that my parents drove from our family ranch near Sierra Vista to Tucson because they trusted him so much. He never let us down and we got the best care.

So sorry to learn of his passing. He was a wonderful doctor and man and we have missed him greatly since his retirement. Our prayers and best wishes to his family.

I just found out about his passing. My love goes out to his family and friends. Dr. Welsh was my dr in the 90's. He had a kind and sweet soul. RIP Dr. Welsh.

Dr. Welsh passed away 34 days after giving me an FAA physical. My first FAA from him was in 1989. His practicing and giving FAA physicals literally until the day he died speaks volumes.

I'm so sad to just learn of this wonderful man's passing. He was my doctor in the 1960's. He was a brilliant doctor and compassionate friend to his little patients. He was later the doctor to my five children until they grew up. The world has lost a great man.

John Welsh found his patients fascinating and when during an aviation physical he learned about the Flying Samaratans, he mentioned that if we needed any medical equipment or supplies he would like to donate. Soon after his passing, I received a call and soon after, Dr. Welsh's office provided many much needed supplies that are now helping our group to provide better medical and dental services to underserved patients in Mexico's Baja penninsula. The Flying Samaritans Arizona thank you Dr....

What a great AME and fellow pilot! I actually looked forward to my Class 1 physical every six months. My sincere condolences to his wife and family, sorry we never had a chance to meet. A kind and caring physician who had a grasp of the bigger picture. I'll miss seeing you and Sandy twice a year.
