Robert 'Bob' Grady Welch, 69, passed away on November 5, 2016 in Pensacola, FL.

Bob proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy before setting roots in Pensacola where he began a 40 year Civil Service career. He was a hard worker, tough as nails, and had a kind heart. He enjoyed restoring old cars, loved to dance and could fix anything you put in front of him.

He leaves daughters, Shelley Gourley (Richard) and Lisa Overton (Chris).

We wish to extend our sincere gratitude to Emerald Coast Hospice and the staff of The Waterford at Creekside for the special care and love they gave him. To Minky, Nikki and Roxanne, a special thank you for the blessing you were to both him and his daughters.

Memorial donations can be made in lieu of flowers to: Emerald Coast Hospice of Milton, 5536 Stewart St, Milton, FL 32570 (850.995.4664).

A private memorial celebration is planned for a later date.
