Melwin (Tug) James Welson (9 Jan 1934 - 29 May 2022)

So long Pa, I've been lucky to have had you as a dad for 88 years, would have loved more tho!
Safe travels see you on the other side.

I was so sorry to here Tug (Steve’s ole chap as I referred to him)had passed away.He was a pleasure to know and always came to our family meals out.I popped in to see him now and again and to drop him a cake off.I quite open found him at the field by his house with his dog, watching the world go by, always pleased to see me and the cake lol.I know Steve,Dawn,ember and Vince are so devastated by the loss of Tug and I hope they can gain some comfort in the fact they have so many memories of Tug as they spent a lot of time with him. Rest in peace Tug xx

This is by far the hardest thing that we have had to do, and that is saying goodbye to you. 🥰

You have been a huge part of our lives so will be sorely missed. You have left a void which is unfillable so not sure how we will cope hereon.

We have a lot to thank you for, all the precious memories you have given us, and your knowledge, help and advice were immeasurable. You truly are a brilliant father, father in law, grandad and we all would have done anything for you.
You made our family complete and we were lucky to have you.
Your forever family, Steve, Dawn, Ember & Vince xxxx
Ps We are taking care of Penny for you 🐕

Goodbye Grandad. I can't believe I won't ever get to see you again, you have been a huge part of my life that I will always remember and I'd be lucky if I grew to be half the man you are. I'll miss you forever

I was so happy to have known you, i will always remember talking about the action movies we both enjoyed and sharing each others thoughts on them, you will be missed by many.

Fly high it was such pleasure spending time with you xx

Dad I love and miss you so much, you will always be my Hero! I can't describe the pain I feel, but my heart is broken forever. I'd give anything just to hug you or hear your voice once more. Love you ♥️ Xxxx
