To the Welch family. We are so sorry to learn of Mr. Welch´s passing. We remember him coming back from his fishing trips, turning into the court, maneuvering his boat up the driveway and showing us the large fishes he "claimed" to have caught. Let me apologize now for all of us kids calling Santa Claus long distance from your house phone....several times; needless to say, Mr. Welch wasn´t too happy about that. And during the winter months, he´d use his large snow blower to clear out not only y´all´s drive way but everyone else´s too. I know when Mr. Welch reached the Pearly Gates, our Dad was there to greet him with a huge smile and hand shake as any good neighbor and friend would do. We love y´all and are praying for you during this difficult time. `Till we meet again. Kelly, Stacy & Dot
