What I will always remember about my Uncle Mel is his kindness. He was so kind and generous with his time and attention. He was always kind and respectful to me as a child, in a way adults often are not. He reminded me so much of Grandma Dreikosen. My dad and I were talking a while ago about how many times he and mom moved, and he said , thank goodness for Melvin, he was always there for us. I am thankful to have him as an uncle and all the kindness him and Marianne have shown me all these years.
