Melvin J. Ball

I was a long time friend. I met Mel in the Air Force in 1968 in Port Hueneme Ca. tech school construction equipment operator school. A after we graduated, we were assigned to Oxnard AFB. After I got out of the AF I went back to. Indiana. I visited Mel several times from there until I moved here in 1984. Mel was my best friend! I miss him very much. R.IP.

We sure do miss Mel! We really miss his happy, fun personality and his great laugh. I hope the family is healing a little day by day!

Mel's girls, Carol, Anne, Vera.

Mel, you have always been a dear friend to me and our love for politics was our favorite topic. Thank you for your love, support and kindness to my family. You are in our hearts and thankful for the memories. God´s blessings to you, Irene Lewis
