Obituary of Reggie Welch

Reginald “Reggie” Welch Reginald Denmore Welch was born November 20, 1928 at Clarinda, Iowa to Oliver D. and Doris H. (McCunn) Welch. At birth Reggie was limited in his abilities and what he could accomplish but that did not stop him from becoming an adventurous, active, loving and fun-loving man. He made the best of life with his loving parents assisting him and providing the nurture to develop his own self. Upon his mother’s death he lived with family a few years until his health made it necessary to live in a care facility. When active in the community he enjoyed woodworking as a hobby and being around people, visiting and having a good time with those he met--making friends easily. Reggie passed away Tuesday morning, January 30, 2018 at Westridge Quality Care & Rehab in Clarinda. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister-in-law Carole Welch, and brother-in-law Bill Floersch. He is survived by sister Joan Floersch, Omaha, NE; brothers Gary Welch of Little Rock, AR, and Ed (Marilyn) Welch of Clarinda, IA; nieces, nephews, other relatives and a great many friends. Funeral services are 11 a.m. Friday, February 2, 2018 at Walker-Merrick-Eickemeyer Funeral Chapel, Clarinda, with interment at Clarinda Cemetery. Visitation and lunch will be following the services. Memorials in his memory are suggested to the SW Iowa Humane Society, Clarinda. Walker-Merrick-Eickemeyer Funeral Chapel, Clarinda, provided arrangements.
