George Welch Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
George lived a life rooted in love, integrity, and service. A proud veteran, George served his country with honor. After his military service, he had a long and successful career in management at Seagate, where he worked for many years before retiring. George found joy in fishing, camping, gardening, and spending time with his family. His love for nature and animals was a consistent presence in his life.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Beulah; and his siblings, Lohman, Thomas, Paul, and Shirley.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 51 years, Sue Welch; his son, Richard Welch and wife, Debbie Welch; his grandson, Justin Welch, and wife, Karen; three cherished great-grandsons, Chad, Luke, and Seth; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was loved by many, and a true gentleman in life. He will be deeply missed. Donations can be made to the charity of your choice, in George's honor.
