In Remembrance of Earl Welde
Posted on July 7th, 2008 by admin
I met Earl Welde when I was hired into a sales position at WFLA-TV in 1975. My first office was in St. Petersburg where Earl was the Manager. Earl was a good man who could tell jokes better than almost anyone I’ve ever known.
In the late 1960’s, Earl was 4th District Governor of the American Advertising Federation. So, when 4th District had a meeting in St. Petersburg in early May of this year, I called Earl to wish him well.
Colleen told me that he had passed away last December.
Anyone who knew Father Welde knows that the world is a little less funny without him.
He was without a doubt…
