Craig, I remember your parents dearly from when you and I were in college and am truly sorry the sudden loss of "my step father" Mel. My sincerest sympathies go out to you, Amy and your whole family...

Dear Sandy and Family,
We were shocked and saddened to hear about Mel's passing. We have such wonderful memories of you and Mel , playing tennis and visiting in California and all the beautiful art the two of you have created. We'll see you Saturday.
much love,

Dear brother, you will be sincerely missed.

Dear Sandy, Craig, Sheila, Corey,
I just found out about Melvyn passing. My sincere condolences go out to you and your family. He always made me and my siblings happy when he would come over to visit the family in Buffalo Grove. I wish I would have known him better. Its been nice reading about all Melvyn's accomplishments over the past few days.
God Bless,
Brandt Pfeifer

Kalas family-
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Dear Sandy, Craig, Sheila and Corey....

I am saddened to hear of Mel's sudden passing. I was fortunate to know and respect him during some of the great years at Baxter (1968-1978). I knew he was a great numbers guy, but never knew about his "big band"! As a ballroom dancer, I admire him even more. I trust he will fill you with fond and loving memories as you mourn his passing.
With much sympathy,
Phil Ralston

Dear Sandy, Craig, Sheila and Corey,
I cried when I read about Mel. We had so many fun times with you. I am sorry that we lost contact in the last few years. I often thought about you and vowed to call you many times. Sandy, I had this weird, vivid dream about you just before Christmas. Maybe there was a reason. Then yesterday I heard from Sandy "Terry" via email and I went online to search for information about contacting you. That is when the article about Mel came up. I am so...
