Melvin, I will remember you for your funny wit, you could always tell a joke about anything and make us laugh. You always had a good sense of humor and that is a good quality to have. I remember you, picking at mom and always saying something that made her laugh even if she didn't want to. We pray you are at peace.You will be missed. In our thoughts, Sue and Ken
