Hi
I just wanted to let you know how very sorry I am hear about David. I knew him many years ago (I was the maid of honor at his wedding to Cindy). I actually met someone that worked with him a few weeks ago and we talked about what a nice guy David was.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care
Brenda

David was taken from us all way to young. He will look over everyone. He knows how we all loved him. Be strong, and know that your Dad (Son, Brother) is okay. We will all meet again someday. I love you all so much.

We will all miss you very much Dad. You were a great Father, Grandfather, Brother and Son. Hero Dad
You are our hero, Dad
You are our secure foundation.
When we think of you, We are filled with love
And fond appreciation.
You make us feel protected;
We are sheltered by your care.
You're always our true friend; and Dad,
When we need you, you're always there.
You have a place of honor
Deep within our hearts.
You've been our superhero, Dad,
Right from the very start.
Love,
Amy

Officer Welch was a kind and caring person.He would always smile and say hello when you would see him.Welch was a good officer and the sheriffs office lost a good man. My deepest sympathy goes to the family. Just remember he will always be in your heart and remember the good times you had with him.Remember his is in a better place and has no suffering or pain.
