Hadley

Charles T. Welch, 78, of Rollman Circle, passed away Saturday morning, July 12, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his loving family following a long illness.

Born on July 28, 1946, in Beacon, he was the son of the late Robert and Agnes (Welch) Moore. He was raised in Hopewell Junction and attended Roy C. Ketcham High School, where he participated in baseball, soccer, wrestling, and boxing in Dutchess County.

Charlie chose to leave high school and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps on September 11, 1964. He proudly served his country during the Vietnam War. Following his honorable discharge, Charlie worked for the New York State Narcotics Addiction Control Commission. He later settled in Tarrytown, where he was an active member of the Tarrytown Fire Department (Washington Engine Company) and a member of the Tarrytown Ambulance Corps.

After marrying his loving wife, Eileen, they moved to Hudson Falls with their two children, Joshua and Jessica. The family made Hadley their home in 2004. Charlie worked for 20 years for the New York State Department of Correctional Services, retiring as a sergeant from Mt. McGregor Correctional Facility.

Charlie was an avid reader. He had a tremendous sense of humor and was known to be quite a prankster. His greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.

He was predeceased by his parents and his siblings: Mary Ferland, Cindy Kyriazis, John Welch, and Thomas Welch.

Survivors include his wife, Eileen Welch; their children, Joshua (Suzanne) Welch of Waterford and Jessica (Brian) Winslow of Hadley; his cherished grandchildren, Angelina, Jared, Julia, Hayden, Charlie, and Gabriel; several nieces and nephews; and the beloved family dogs, Greta and Millie.
