It is now 9 years since Mel passed from earthly life into Heaven. It is hard to believe how time slips by so quickly. I find myself often at this late time after his passing thinking about him and the things we did at the time he worked for me at Texas Instruments in Houston Texas. I have a very deep feeling of sorrow knowing he passed so soon from this life. Mel left a heck of a legacy in what he accomplished with so little time in life. I read things in his legacy I was not aware of when...

I worked with Mel for several years at TI and enjoyed our time together. I spoke with Mel a few times after he left TI and always had a very good conversion related to work and life in general. Mel was a wonderful person. He will be missed. My deepest sympathy to Mel's family. May God Bless.

Working with Mel was at Texas Instruments was a pleasure. He continually worked to achieve what was best for the "team". He was not a glory seeker. When I knew Mel he was a person that got results by finding a path that produced the best results. He was capable of directing and commanding, but preferred using persuasion instead of power and position. Great person.
