Remembering Jimmy "Trophy B****" Welsh
12/27/2012
Love, Thoughts & Prayers for the Welsh Family & Team Typhoon
Jimmy Welsh aka "Trophy B****" was a man that many of us loved & adored. There are so many things and so many stories about this man that we can go on forever and never have a bad thing to say. Jimmy truly had a heart of gold.
Jimmy was big a part of Offshore Racing and was a part of so many people's adventures. He always seemed to be everywhere all the time helping everyone. It is safe to say that no one ever walked away from Jimmy without a smile on their face. You may have walked away shaking your head, but "YES" it was always with a smile and probably a laugh too. Jimmy will be missed greatly by all.
