Roger Welty 1971

David Nielsen

November 15, 2017

Roger was the kindest human being I ever met and that says a ton if you are familiar with our home town. He never had a bad word for anyone and was a genuine tough gentleman who wrestled and competed in weightlifting. Trapper as well. He also had a keen wit for humor and he happily teamed up with Harold Kampe at my first apartment in Clinton where I experimented on them with my new 35 mil camera. The picture of Roger was taken in 1971 and I have others I would be glad to email.
May Roger's name be for a blessing for coming generations.
My sincere prayers and respect for his family,
Dave Nielsen
