a rare and impressive milestone: he never missed a single day of work. His commitment and reliability became hall- marks of his career and set a powerful example for gener- ations of Welch associates.
Miller’s versatility and leadership allowed him to serve in nearly every operational role within the company. Over the years, he held key positions in customer service, operations, traffic and logistics, scheduling, estimating, and other critical functions. He was also frequently called upon to support Welch Packaging’s growth by stepping into interim and transitional roles, helping integrate newly acquired businesses and strengthen operating systems across multi- ple locations. His work played a vital role in establishing and sustaining the company’s culture as Welch expanded. “Dave exemplifies the values we strive to find in each Welch associate: commitment, loyalty, kindness, flexibility, leadership, in- tellectual curiosity, a sense of urgency, and a heart focused on serving others,” said Scott Welch, CEO, president, and founder of Welch Packaging. “There is no role I’ve asked Dave to perform that he hasn’t em- braced, always lifting up those around him. He is the ultimate role model at work and in his personal life. I have great admiration for Dave’s work and how he lives his life. Beyond his contributions to the business, Dave and his wife Sherrie have become dear friends.” Reflecting on his 40-year journey, Mill- er shared, “I can’t think of a better place to have spent these last 40 years working. It’s been fun to see the tremendous growth of the company and the many opportunities given to me and others to grow” In retirement, Miller and his wife Sherrie look forward to traveling, spending more time with their children and grandchildren, and cheering on the Purdue Boilermakers.
