I was so very sorry to learn that John had passed away. Mary Jac just called me this afternoon. I have many wonderful memories of him from the years he was in Little Rock and I am so glad that I got to see him in Georgia at the last Snider family reunion.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and my wish that your hearts will find an extra measure of peace at this time.
I will be sending a memorial donation to the Franciscan Renewal Center and to the Madonna Mission in Chicago, IL.
In deepest sympathy,
John T. Welch

I’m so sorry to hear that John has passed away. I am a parishioner at Our Lady of Good Counsel parish in Little Rock, and we have so many wonderful memories of Harry and Maureen over the years – they raised a beautiful family, who were a special part of our parish family. I know Harry and Maureen are welcoming John home now.

Sorry to read of John’s passing. We were childhood friends many years ago in Little Rock. Our families were friends many many years ago in the old Good Counsel Church, and also on a personal level. I lost contact with Sissy when she moved from Little Rock several years ago. If anyone could help me with contact information I would appreciate it so much,
Thank you, Betty
