The instant I met him, I felt as though I had met an uncle that I never knew I had.
He was a mensch, a macher, and one of the finest men I have ever known.
My guys and I had the great privilege of doing the music for his 50th wedding anniversary party to celebrate his long-lived marriage to his lovely Bibby.
(I'm reminded of this because we're scheduled to play Mayor Menino's Golden Anniversary luncheon for Bostonians who have been married 50 years or more, day after tomorrow. This will be the 15th year or so that we've done it, and we got that privilege initially because Mel hired us for it the first time.)
Cordially,

I cannot express the warmth and friendship when I was in Mel's presence. I only knew Mel from City Hall during special events. Mel will always be in my prayers.

I can still picture you & Mel at Ellen's Birthday Party last December when we were all so happy together.How we all will miss him.He was my last connection to my Mother & Dad, but you were my Mother's dearest friend & I will always stay in touch with you. Scott, Alan & Karyn send you lots of love & hugs. They loved Mel so very much, especially Scott who is as overcome with loss as I am. We will miss everything about him - our dear, old friend.All my love, Barbara

Mel was one of the true treasures of this city. He had a heart of gold, an unparalleled sense of humor and a warmth about him that emanated throughout any room he entered. He was the epitomy of what a public servant is all about and a role model to young and old alike. This city was extremely fortunate to have such a gift. He will forever be missed.
