My deepest sympathy to the Welp family, I was so sorry to hear the news. I hope your memories of the great times you shared with Bob will comfort you today and always.  Bob was a one-of-a-kind good guy!  They don't make them like that anymore, and he left us way too soon.

I have my own special memories of great times with Bob.  We were best of friends for years after high school, and had many adventures together.  We worked and played together, including many hunting, camping, fishing and motorcycle trips.  Bob and I made the trip of a lifetime to the Yukon Territory in 1974 and spent most of the summer in northern Canada.  We traveled by canoe from the British Columbia border almost to the Alaska border, almost 400 miles over about 2 months, camping every night. We barely saw a soul, except moose, bear, bobcats, mountain lions and much other wildlife. It was indeed the trip of a lifetime, and I will never forget the fun (and struggles) we had on that trip.  I could go on and on.

Bob and I saw less of each other once we grew up, got married and I started working in Madison, WI.  We kept in touch but had no more great adventures.  I was then transferred to Tampa, Florida where I have been since, and have only seen him a few times on returns to Rochester. I'm sorry about losing close touch with him, he was a great friend and will always be in my heart and in the fondest memories of my youth.  Rest in peace Bob!  

Working at Menards, I knew Bob from years past. Was always a kind man and very personable 

my condolences to your family and loved ones

Dad…I can’t put into words how wonderful of a person you were.  You made us all laugh.  Your heart was always open.  You did whatever needed to be done, no matter how hard it was.  The toughest person I know.  You were one of a kind…the best guy ever.  I am forever grateful that I got to call you Dad, and I will love you always.  ❤️Your Eme Lou

Papa, you were the sweetest, kindest, hardworking guy I knew. Whenever I step into your home it feels somewhat empty. I miss our conversations in the living room, I miss the rides on the ranger, I miss everything that we did together. I would give anything to shoot some more cans with you, but I am so glad your at peace. You will have an especially special place in my heart, forever and always. ❤️
Your loving grandson, Ethan.

Deb and family,

I didn't know Bob personally but from what Deb used to share at work and pictures on social media, Bob seemed to be an all around great guy. My deepest sympathies to your family as you navigate this journey. Be sure to lean on each other for support and know many people are thinking of you and love you. 

To the strongest man I will ever know  My guiding light.  Your at peace with no worries,  I can’t fill your boots but I will never stop trying. Mom will be safe under my watch.  I love you Dad
