I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Professor Welch, once, over ten years ago when he visited my church, Spanish Town SDA. He met my sister in Barbados and promised her that when next he came to Jamaica, he would visit our church and that he did. Taking public transportation at that…I was bowled over, because Jamaica’s public transportation isn’t the best.
He ended up spending the day with me and my two sons. We had fellowship lunch after church with my Sabbath school class at one of the brethen’s home. Afterwards I took him back to UWI Mona where he was staying. Can’t forget how he prayed for my boys, before we bid him farewell.
That one day spent with him, left a lasting impression on me. Professor Welch was such a humble and sweet person, a child of the King. I never got to see him again, but every so often I would ask my sister about him. When I learned that he was going to be doing the Elsa Govia Lecture, I was elated, because I was looking forward to seeing him again. Unfortunately God had other plans…
To his family and loved ones my sincere condolences and my prayers are with you…remember God is your strength…hold on to Him. That’s what Bro Pedro would want.
To the Welch family from Jeannette Allsopp and family. You were always a guide, a mentor, a support and a dear friend. May you rest in peace and rise in glory, Pedro, and may your entire family be comforted at this difficult time.
I remember sitting next to Lancelot at Boys Foundation. Zockie, as he was affectionate called, was a very polite,well mannered and humble individual. With these qualities I knew would develop a freindship. However, after graduating high school we never crossed path again, but I knew he was destined for greatness. Though I had no ideas he was this accomplished until his passing, I was not surprised.
Now, he has finished the race, fought the good fight and has received his crown in glory.
RIP my friend.
Condolences to the family
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise”…Rest in peace and rise in glory griot 🙏🏽🕊
