He was an avid bass fisherman and a lover of nature and wildlife. He traveled solo or with his family to lakes near and far in search of the next big catch. He loved a competitive pick up basketball game, and enjoyed running and cycling. Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, he had a love and passion for the city. He was a proud member of Miami Valley Country Club and loved the sport of golf. Later in life, he enjoyed snowbirding in Naples, Florida, with Vicki and his family. Mel attended General Motors Institute in Detroit where he earned his degree in Mechanical
Engineering. He built a successful career with General Motors and was a dedicated, hard working, loyal and passionate
employee. He retired from the company in 1991 at the age of 53. Following his retirement he worked in a consulting capacity with several organizations, including MCCC Sportswear.

He was preceded in death by his wife: Vicki Carol (Dunn) Cloud, son: Gregory C. Cloud, parents: Charles Austin and Audrey (Houston) Cloud, brother: Thomas A. Cloud and sister: Julie Cloud Murry. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
