I remember him well even though I have not seen him in years. We shared many a good time at the old Downers Grove Gun Club. I began shooting trap there in 1969 two years after he had won the Grand American Handicap. I always delighted in listening to his comments of that day.

If heaven has trap shooting I know where I can find Herman.

Always a gentleman. We will miss your smiling face at the club. Rest in peace our friend.

It was a honor to know Herman. And to take care of Herman,Lorraine and Cody. They say every person you meet maker a difference in your life,well Herman Welch made a difference in my life. Rest in peace Herman

God speed Herman, together again with your beloved Lorraine.
