He touched our lives, and so many others for good and emulated the love of our Savior. He embraced the gospel of Jesus Christ and spent his life striving to live its principles and build the kingdom of God through quiet service.

A patriot, he valiantly served in World War II and celebrated the fourth of July with special vigor; it being the day of his birth (1921) as well as that of our country. Petros, a rock, he stood for truth and righteousness and fervently prayed his descendants would defend the faith he and his forefathers fought for so diligently. He honored his priesthood faithfully completing church callings and blessing the lives of his family, fellow church members, and any with whom he came in contact. And Huff was our pal. He listened and laughed with us, cried with and comforted us, and loved and cherished our dear mother Elaine, whom he married in the Salt Lake Temple in August of 1946. Because of the eternal covenants that have sealed them together for time and all eternity, we celebrate their love for us and ours for them. Though the outstanding accomplishments of his life are many, too many actually to be listed here, the most important thing we think he would want to be remembered for is the kindness he showed and the testimony he bore. He will be especially missed by his wife, Elaine Olson Welch; children, Karen Welch Coleman (Reed), David Welch (Ronda), Winona Welch Giddings (John), Vedel Welch (Jan), Charles Welch (Ina), Donna Welch, Ronald Welch (Vicki), Sylvia Welch Sudeth (Mark); and his 25 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. One great-granddaughter is already by his side. You are invited to join our family in celebrating his life Friday night at the Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 4760 So. State Street from 6-8 p.m. and Saturday morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the Belview Ward chapel, 6300 South 300 East. Funeral Services will begin at 11 a.m. Interment will be in the Murray City Cemetery. God be with you Dad (and with us) till we meet again. Published in the Salt Lake Tribune on 6/2/2005.
