I met Jose Melis only once, at an outdoor concert on the grounds of Connecticut General (I think) in Connecticut, which I attended with Suzanne and others from CML.

In tribute to my grandfather I would just like to say that your music lives on in the hearts of all those whose lives you touched. Especially mine. Pop Pop you will be missed but your spirit is free and I know you are all around me and you are there in every piano key I hear. Soar to the heavens Pop and go catch Momma.
Always,
Your Grandson
