My husband and I went to church with Jack and Sue. Very sweet people. Prayers for the family.
I read the obituary for Jack Welch, Sr. in the Brown County Democrat just now, and would like to send my condolences to his family. I had the pleasure of teaching saxophone to his three grandchildren, and will never forget the fun we had playing a recital which included a trio performed by them. Hope your lives are good, and may your joy always be greater than your sorrow.
Love, Jinny Thompson

my brother and sisters Dad . i remember him from around 7 years old til now and im 48 . every time i was around him he made sure he talked about The Lord . i dont remember a conversation that did not include Jesus and or scripture . This is how the word instructs us to live our lives . the curse from adam and eve sinning , may have took his physical life . but anyone that knew him , knows where he is . in the arms of Jesus !
