Randy Shields left a message on January 15, 2016:
Reggie and Michelle, I am so very sorry for your loss. Mike was a wonderful and caring person. In the year we spent together in the Army in Vietnam I will always remember his quiet and friendly manner. He talked frequently about “his girl” Reggie, his family and Springfield. It was always obvious how much he loved and missed all of you. We became close the time we spent together and Mike made the year go faster and much more enjoyable. He was my best friend in Vietnam. As we all reflect back and talk about how fast time flies by I can not believe it’s been 46 years. I think your idea of the bench in the park is wonderful. When it is done I look forward to coming down sitting on that bench and “visiting” with Mike again. Mike was a great friend and comrade. This country of ours would be in so much greater shape if we had more Mike Welch’s in it. I will miss him like a brother. My prayers and thoughts are with you. God please you! Randy Shields, Troy, MO
