Born July 31, 1942, in Coffeyville, KS, he was the son of the late Harvey E. Welch, Sr. and Dorothy Sybil Wood Welch.

Harvey was a proud veteran of the United States Army. He was formerly employed with Lithonia Lighting in Conyers, GA where he not only served as a Vice President but a mentor to many. After retirement, he and his wife relocated to Lake Keowee. He enjoyed boating, tie flying, and antiques. He was a member of the Power Squadron and the Rotary Club of Walhalla.

He will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his loving wife, Marilyn Marcum Welch; son, Todd Welch; daughter, Jennifer Silvestro (Jeff Blanchard); and grandchildren, Emma Silvestro and Grace Silvestro.
