Preceded in death by Parents, Fred and Gladys Welch of Mississippi. He was one of six children with 2 brothers and 3 sisters.

His wife and family was his life and they are what he lived for. He was very proud of them all. He loved family gatherings and holidays, including running to the store for those last minute things Mom needed for cooking. He loved fishing with us kids, or for him it was just baiting our hooks over and over. He could fix anything with a motor.

Loved old western movies, especially John Wayne. He loved his constant companion and dog, Maxie. Never met a stranger. Always considered a fair and honest businessman.
