STEPHEN X. WELCH

Mr.Welch was always very kind and nice to me and my family! He was a good musician! His son John and Family really loved him!

Steve will be missed. He was a good father and grandfather. He always liked to see the teams his son John coached while the grand children played. It was a treat seeing him playing the trombone. God bless. Rest in peace..

Enjoyed my 30 years of knowing Steve. Our time together with the Federal Jazz Commission was especially rewarding for me musically. Steve sat in with the CCJB a short while ago to the enjoyment of the whole audience. RIP my friend.

Sending love to the entire Welch family. Glad he is at peace. What a wonderful family he was surrounded by.

Steve was always kind and so intelligent! He will be missed!

Farewell and rest in peace, old friend. You were always a joy to work with back in our band days!

So sorry to learn of Steve's passing. I had the pleasure of playing with Steve over the years and enjoyed listening to his stories. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

Jim Welch and his daughter Pam Welch Skinner send their condolences. We always enjoyed Steve's playing with the Federal Jazz Commission (the 'Feds') at Colonial Brooks Tavern. We also enjoyed his (and Marty's) historian insight into traditional jazz. Thank you Steve for sharing your music and wisdom with us. You've made our lives richer.

Sorry for your loss. Steve was a great guy and an awesome musician. He will be missed.
