I first met Mel when I was a little girl. What a pleasant twist to life that he became a valued friend later through our shared love for the French language and our Cajun culture. His talent, his wit, and his expertise with French is appreciated not only here but in Loudun, Thibodaux's twin city, too. We will miss him dearly. Our condolences to Marty and all the family. Mel was a treasure. Repose en paix, mon ami!

I'm sorry to learn of Mel's death. We met at Nicholls and danced to his music. I have pictures he framed of my mother, Alice's crocheted work of art. Mel and his family will be remembered in our thoughts and prayers. His music will continue with God's blessings.

Here in Loudun we will not forget Evil. He charmed us with his talent, his songs still resonate. We will pray Sunday at St. Peter's Church, the Thibodaux-Loudun twinning will always remember our Cajun cousin. We will keep in mind the history lesson under the oak of Evangeline Mel made us discovered in St. Martinville. Poitou tonight we mourn our friend Mel. rest in peace.

I met Mel when I joined the Thibodaux-Loudon Twinning Association a few years ago. He was such a gentle soul and eager to share his talents with everyone. He taught me to dance at this year's twinning meeting with our French guest. He will surely be missed. Prayer to all of his family.
