Not sure what to say?

Dear Christy and Family, So sad and sorry to hear this. Tom said your dad was so special Christy; we are thinking of you all. Love, Brenda

Dear Jeanne,my deepest sympathy and prayers for you and the family. I think of the times we'd run into each other by chance and Mel was always ready to catch up!! Take care and God bless.

Mel was truly a gentle man who leaves the legacy of a life lived with generosity,care and enthusiasm, ended too soon.

Jeannie and family, I love you and Mel so much! Always fun to be around and have a lot of good memories! I am so sorry I was not able to attend and see you all! Yous are forever in my heart and prayers are sent!

Melvin was a great childhood friend! We spent many hours with Craig Gleason, Gary Reinke, Tom Farran, and others, playing baseball behind Mel's house.

His family has my deepest condolences! Tom Fielstra

I know how much you loved your family and how hard you worked to spend more time with them. I´m so happy that in the last couple of years I got to spend some time with you sharing our love for telescopes and astronomy. I will forever cherish our last correspondence - last week on the day of the Solar Eclipse when you...
