Death of Robert L. (Bob) Welsh (4/3/26)

Bob Welsh died on March 26. His obituary is here.

The following is excerpted from the obit relevant to his Tax Division service:

Bob moved to the Washington, D.C. area in 1972 to work as an attorney for the Department of Interior's Board of Land Appeals. He later transitioned to the Department of Justice's Tax Division, where he was a senior litigator for over 40 years, involved in complex litigation and some of the largest tax cases of the time. In that position he contributed an expansive knowledge and love of the law, along with an intelligent and quick-witted sense of levity that drew people to him.
