I was blessed to know Mel through Roger. He was a father figure and grandfather figure to my middle son Michael. Mel was kind and so smart sharp. We played his favorite card game kings in the corner and it was hard to beat him. I enjoyed watching TV and sharing a meal out or at home with him. I enjoyed his 100th birthday where he was like a little kid so excited to reconnect with family he had not seen in a long time. He was lived and will be missed.
I found him and his family to be delightful. They were a part of regular visits for water I was distributing and also a part of my Home Group Ministry. Mel amazed me with his energy and sweet disposition! He will be missed but now/ HE'S WITH HIS DAUGHTER NANCY AND HIS WIFE GOLDIE!! AND JESUS IN THE KINGDOM OF HIS FATHER...NOT willing to return~...I am glad to have known this precious family. Kathy Galvin
My uncle Jim was one of the kindest caring Man I have ever known. He had the Bigest Heart! He will truly be missed.
Mel and I spent more time together than I ever did with my own father after I moved about 6 hours away.
I lived about 1/2 mile from Mel's retirement community and visited him 1-3 times a week.
I never got tired of hearing his stories about remodeling houses - or building them from scratch.

Really missing my sweet Grandpa Mel over the last few weeks.
Mel will be greatly missed it as he had allowed me to become a part of his family and spend so many of the holidays together. He was one of the most lovely man I have ever met.
