It is with deep sadness that Charles Lenard Welch fell asleep in death at the age of 81 at home with son Kelly & daughter-in-law Bonnie and Rob Green who was considered a son by his side. Pre-deceased by his beloved wife Alice (2008), whom he missed dearly; children Christina, Thomas, Audrey, Joseph, Mike and sister Christine & brother Earl. He is survived by his children Charles (Chuck), Laura, Kathleen, Steven, Leonard, Lily & Kelly & his wife Bonnie. He will be sadly missed by his sisters Jeanette, Paulette, June, Linda, Sharon, Debbie and brother Harry. He enjoyed sharing his beliefs as one of Jehovah`s Witness about a paradise in the future, the hope of a resurrection. He enjoyed hunting & fishing. He was a busy man, providing for his family doing many different jobs at home. He helped many friends by fixing and doing body jobs on their vehicles. Thank you to the nursing staff at the Englehart & District Hospital. You were his 2nd family. Also to all the nurses and P.S.W`s. and all who helped fulfill his wish to pass at home. We couldn`t have done it without you. A discussion of his life and his faith will be at the Kingdom of Jehovah`s Witnesses (20 5th Street) Englehart, on Saturday September 24, 2016 at 2:00pm. Interment to follow on Monday September 26, 2016 at 10:30am. Talk to be given by his friend Gilbert Baril of the Englehart Congregation.
