Walter Scott Welch Iii

Mr. Scotty was a wonderful and pleasant gentleman, even on the other side of the courtroom. I am saddened for his family and our profession at his passing, but am glad that he has come into the presence of his Lord.

Scotty was the first person to change my mind about studying and academics. He was a football cheerleader and I was a player and this closeness helped me grow to admire and respect him and it changed me. He taught me through example. I began a lifetime of reading and collecting books because I could see this would help me be more like the wonderful man Scotty was. Now I did not have the brains to be Scotty, but he did point the way to be a better person and to appreciate the well-spoken,...

We were moot court partners and neighbors in law school and remained friends over the years. We have lost a great man and a great lawyer.

Scotty Welch was an example of integrity, decorum and service to the Law and society for hundreds of attorneys who, like I, were fortunate to have the opportunity to work with him. May his family rest well knowing his professional legacy will live on, and be passed down in perpetuity, for the benefit of future generations of Mississippians.

Scotty was a fine gentleman and an absolute professional. I am deeply saddened by his passing.

A husband, a father, a generous human, and an honest, intelligent, hard-working attorney. It was a pleasure being around Scotty during my legal career. I will never forget him. Merrida

So sorry to hear of Scotty's passing. A great lawyer and gentleman who certainly leaves a mark on the profession and those who knew and litigated against him. Prayers for comfort and many happy memories for his family, and all who knew and loved him.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
