Our thoughts and prayers are with the Welch family. Although Arn is now looking over us all, he will be forever here in spirit. We have many fond memories of Arn playing cards, bailing hay, drinking beer and of course, talking smart! No matter what age, everyone who met Arnold fell in love with his youthful personality! Our lives are better having had him in them! God bless, Randy & Pam Drzonek
