I'm sad for those of us who will be left behind but I know there was a great welcome party with all of his loved ones. I have one of my most favorite memories with my papaw when we were visiting with Uncle Odis and Aunt Bea. He took me horse riding and looked for arrow heads! I will always remember those special days, he was a great man. ..a Welch, they don't make men like the Welch brothers anymore! My prayers are with you all.
