Melvin Chitwood

My cousin Joe, I always admired your spirit and ability to say exactly what was on your mind, even if others did not want to hear it. You are truly loved and will never be forgotten. We will miss you greatly.

We will miss Mel greatly and will never forget him rescuing myself and the boys when we locked ourselves out of the house while Steve was traveling. He was always there to help, even in the craziest of ways. You touched all of us and we will never forget you.

My prayer are going out to Gail and Mel's Family and Friends. I met Mel thru my cousin Penny. It was always a fun time with them. Mel had to have a "Business man's" haircut so Penny called me to see if I had an opening in my schedule and did. I hated to cut Mel's hair and was worried that it would be to short because that just was not Mel. Tried to get a hold of Penny one day after she had been in to get her hair done and she had walked out with another customers leather coat in error because...

I will always remember you as being like a big brother to me growing up Joe, such a great guy. My prayers to the family during this difficult time. I would say time heals everything, but having experienced losing a brother, you just get by and remember all the good times you had with him. Love, Sue Powell (Pfishner)

Lee sends his condolences too.

Know that God is close to the brokenhearted because he cares for you, 1 Peter 5:6,7. ~ CHICAGO.

I rember the good times we had back in the 90's when you were in The Netherlands. Our chitchat about music, and your funny jokes. Rest in Piece Joe.

Joe was from a family l called my own. I loved his mother so much. In my younger years as an adult she would sit and listen to me for hours. And always had the best advised.
I always wished l was in your family Joe. You were so cute when you were little. Ginny was a doll and Becky was so little so looked like an angel. Millie and Peggy always was having so much fun. And after Millie passed Peggy and l became close. You know all this. You saw me all the time when you were still at home...
