May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

The other day while visiting my home and past employment at Glens Falls Hospital I brought up the name of Dr David Welch and how much respect I had for him. At that time early 1980's I took a position in occupational therapy and worked for him in that department. He was a very caring doctor who was so kind not only to the patient but the families. He wanted to make sure that his department would closely with patients and their family. He always kept us on our toes. I enjoyed working for him...

Mary...I am so sorry to hear the sad news of Dr. Welch´s passing. I have thought of both of you often over the years. The time I spent working at the office in Glens Falls left me with countless memories, with many of them being quite amusing.

I have always thought of cross-country skiing as a special gift because it has been an activity that I love and one that has brought a...

Dear Mary and family, We remember with fondness the first couple winters we were on Pershing Road, and Dave encouraging our girls to try cross-country skiing. A few years later, we were in Placid for one of the girls to race, and there was Dave in a race of his own. His enthusiasm was infectious! Good memories. Praying that you can find peace, as he most certainly has. Jeff and Peggy Stucker and Karla, Bekka & Lindsay

I was a nurse on the rehab unit at GF Hospital many years ago. Dr Welch was incredibly kind to his patients and the staff and was truly one of the wisest and most humble MDs I´ve ever met. My sincere condolences to his family and fiends.

I worked with Dr. Welch for many years in the PM & R department at Glens Falls Hospital. My first interaction with him was when he was working with a patient who had recently lost his leg. He was empathetic and provided "tough love" which this patient needed during his challenging time. As a therapist and later rehab director, I could count on his direct and candid communication on many different topics . He provided a solid foundation for rehabilitation in the community. So sorry for...

Dr. Welch, thank you for teaching me, at a young age, what true compassion and empathy were. You inspired me to treat the most vulnerable among us with the value and care they so deserve. To Mrs. Welch and family, I´m so sorry for your loss. May each of you find comfort in your memories of him.
