Melvin, Bob and I had so many good times. We spent many days and night talk and laughing with each other. Didn't matter whether we were at a drag strip, or just hanging in the garage, we always had a great time. He was a true friend to both Bob and I and tried hard not to take a side when Bob and I wasn't seeing eye to eye! Lol Loved him with all my heart and will miss him dearly.
