Boone Funeral Home

Bossier City, LA

Daddy passed away in his sleep on the early evening of November 5, 2007. A man 
who met life on his terms, he will pass this earthly existence in the same 
manner. Daddy will be cremated at Boone Funeral Home in Bossier City and his 
ashes will be spread across Indian Lake in Northeast Louisiana as he 
requested. A man who asked no quarter from any other man, Daddy did not want a 
funeral or burial, wanting only to be remembered with fondness and not sorrow.

Daddy was born on April 7, 1922 in Winnsboro, LA to Daniel C. and Minnie Alice 
Welch. He was one of the last remaining members of the generation that lived 
through the Great Depression and defended his country during World War II, 
serving in the Air Force and Navy as a teletype operator.

Daddy married our mother, Ethelda "Babe" on April 3, 1947 in Clovis, NM. Never 
one to leave his beloved North Louisiana woodlands and lakes, Daddy and Mother 
moved back to Franklin Parish with their family in the late 1950's where they 
raised five children.

After Mother's death, Daddy met and married Charlotte Moody of Ruston, LA. He 
and Charlotte lived in Ruston until the time of his death. Faithful companions 
to the end, they loved and cared for each other through the illness and trials 
that growing old brings.

Daddy was greeted in heaven by our Mother, two grandchildren, his parents, two 
brothers; Leo and Daniel, and host of relatives and friends who have passed 
before him.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife Charlotte, five children; Daniel E. 
Welch, Kathy E. Langley, Martha A. Watson, Patricia W. Shadoan and Ann M. 
Seals. Daddy also leaves behind nine grandchildren and eight great 
grandchildren.
