My deepest sympathy to the family. I knew Welcome at Lee H.S., but not nearly as well as I would have liked. He will be sorely missed.

What a kind, gentle man Welcome was!
I knew him growing up through young manhood, and am certain that he continued the same always. What a gift to those who knew him! My deepest sympathy to his family.
