LINCOLN, Neb. (Nebraska Examiner) -Roger Welsch, a humorist and master spinner of tales about rural Nebraska life, died Friday, according to Nebraska Public Media.
Welsch announced Tuesday on Facebook that he was entering a hospice program.
In recent Facebook posts, he had said that he was battling kidney problems and trips for dialysis and that he had had several bad falls.
In his post Tuesday, Welsch simply said his “deterioration” had progressed faster than expected, and he was entering a hospice program. This, he wrote, would be his last post “before I go to the great Facebook site over the Fourth Hill.”
