Not sure what to say?

I had the privilege of knowing and working with Mel, for many years, several years ago, at UAB. He was a pleasant, thoughtful and kind gentleman. He was a valued colleague who spoke softly and made a big impact while helping faculty, students and staff alike. Those of us who ever had the privilege of interacting with him experienced a real-life blessing. My sincere condolences to all those who loved him.

I had the privilege of serving an internship at the Sparks Center back around 1987, where I met Dr. Knight and his staff (Linda, Wayne and Dale). This encounter became the gateway connection to my own career. I always count Dr. Knight among my lucky stars and meetings in my life. Condolences to the family, friends and all others who had the good fortune of knowing Dr. Mel Knight. "Rusty" Blythe St. Simons Island, GA
