William Lloyd Welter

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Roy T. Thorsen on March 25, 2009:

How do you say good-bye to someone you didn't want to leave? Bill meant so much to so many---his immediate family, his family of friends, and his family of classmates. He was a unifying force that worked, not just because he was usually right, but because he always incorporated his wonderful sense of humor.

Bill's passing so unexpectedly may, indeed, be his final gift to us. It has reminded us how fragile is our time here and how often we neglect to recognize and communicate to each other their effect on our lives.

I, along with many others, loved and appreciated Bill and will miss him. We also promise to never forget his final lesson.

Well done, Bill. Be thou at peace.

Roy
