The Rev. William “Bill” Welch died on November 15, 2020 at the age of 74.

He is survived by his sister Janet Beasley, his nephew Tarry Beasley IV, and his nieces Nina Wildes and Janet Lee McDowell. He was preceded in death by his sister Gwen McNeese and his nephew David (Skip) McNeese.

A celebration of Bill’s life is being planned (sometime after the first of the year).

In lieu of flowers donations in his memory may be made to the Thistle Farms or you may support Thistle Farms by shopping at their online store of products made by survivor artisans. UURMaPA will contribute $50 to the UUMA Endowment Fund in honor of our colleague’s ministry.

Notes of condolences may be sent to Nina Wildes at njwildes@gmail.com.

A more complete obituary will be forthcoming after biographical research has been completed.
