Mr. Young, that's how I knew him. Melody's father. Melody's constant. I loved tailgating with Mr. Young at University of Delaware football games.
His smile is forever printed in my memory! I loved his laugh and the way he spoke my name.
Mostly though, I loved how much he loved my best friend in the whole world, Melody.
I swear he lit up when he saw Melody. Melody made him smile, laugh and just grin from hear to hear.
I had a rare opportunity to speak with him recently, and I am so happy I did
I loved him! He was so special, smart, talented and fun!
God and company are Jazzing it up with Mr Young joining the Heavenly Band
Much love to Meredith and Guyer. Melody, my heart is full with all my love to you.

George
Loving Father and friend, I'll always remember our heartfelt discussion about our winning sport teams.
I'll always think of you each Spring and Fall, when I hear the Phillies and Eagles are rebuilding.
You will be greatly missed.
Death leaves a heartache, no one can heal.
Loves leaves a memory, no one can steal
Brian
Here's thinking of you, George

Goodbye to a great father-in-law. I loved our lively conversations about sports, family, music, and politics. And while we didn't always share the same opinions or see eye to eye, at the end of the day we always saw heart to heart. I will miss his generous spirit, unmistakable laugh,the sound of his walker creaking down the hall in the morning, and watching him embrace life with such remarkable joy, love, and enthusiasm.

So sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. Although I never met him, I know from conversations that I had with Brian and Mel that he was a very happy guy who loved to play golf and loved his kids. God Bless.
