Three years ago, he came face to face with Bud Welch, whose daughter Julie Marie, 23, was killed.

Bud Welch, 57, lost his daughter, 23-year-old Julie Marie, who, he said with pride, spoke five languages.

About a year after the bombing, Reeder read a newspaper story about a man named Bud Welch, who had lost his 23-year-old daughter in the explosion.

Reeder couldn't help catching Bud Welch on TV every once in a while.

"I just felt very empty," said Bud Welch, 61, whose daughter, Julie, died in the bombing.

Bud Welch says no execution will bring his daughter back to life.

"I have my life to deal with it," said Bud Welch, 57, who lost his daughter, Julie Marie, 23.

While he may be the most visible member of the group, Bud Welch is not alone in opposing the execution on moral and religious grounds.

Bud Welch is a very good friend of mine.

For months after his daughter was killed, Bud Welch recalled, he was nearly obliterated by feelings of rage and vengeance.
