I have wonderful memories of the Melody Rangers playing for dances at St. Madeline's many years ago. John's signature song was I overlooked an orchid while searching for a rose. RIP Johnny Mello, and thanks for the memories.

To John's family,
I remember John and his family growing up in North Tiverton he was always
a fine gentle man who possessed a great smile and singing talent. He had always time for the young children in the neighborhood. He married a fine and loving
woman, Rosemarie, and had a wonderful family. May God grant him eternal peace and rest and to his family you are all in my special thoughts and prayers.
With my deepest sympathy,
