Hank Welker

Hank Welker was born on May 21, 1944 in Mineola, New York to Natalie (Frost) and John S. Welker Sr. He is survived by a brother, John (Edith), sister Lynn (Paul) Waltzer, both of them from New Jersey; sisters Natalie and Joann from Pennsylvania; his wife Mary (Duke) of 44 years; sons Jamie, his son Carson; Craig and his son Mason and daughter Addeyson.He served in the Navy from 1963-1967 aboard the USS Oriskany during the Vietnam War. There he formed many friendships and remained close to them until his death. He made his way to Steele City, NE to visit one of those friends, (Ronnie Clay) and went in the bar business (The Salty Dog). He decided that wasn’t meant for him so he decided to go into partnership with Russell Behrends of Hanover, KS and formed B&W Electric. They did electrical, plumbing, and even worked on and sold appliances. He then left there after 10 years and went to work for the VA Hospital in Topeka, KS where he put his degree of electrical engineering to good use. He then retired in 2009. Then the honey do list was next. He loved working in the yard, and playing golf.There are no words to express how much he will be missed by his family, and how much we all loved him. We love you Hank Welker, now and forever. Life will never be the same.Hank has requested there be no service.
