Melvin wasn't technically family to me but I wouldn't call him anything else. He was always smiling no matter what. I'm going to miss him very much. He raised 2 great sons and was just a wonderful person. I love you Melvin.

Memories of "Uncle Melvin" will be forever with me. Whenever I would drive by, he would be outside either by the garage or sitting on the front porch and he always had a wave to go with that wonderful smile. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Always a kind word to say. My thoughts and prayers are with Dwain and Mark.
Much love,
Judy
