Charlotte and Tim, Sheila and I send our condolences to you both. Mel was a friend, a great-creative teacher, a good financial advisor and a less than par golfer.

The guys in CHS Retired Faculty Luncheon will pause for a moment of silence and reflectn this coming Tuesday. He ment a lot to our group.

God Bless

Dear Charlotte and Timmy,

We will all miss Merrill tremendously. He was a positive influence not only in my life but so many. I treasure the memories I have of family gatherings and personal conversations with him. I admire him for the example he showed in the love he gave to his parents, my Great Uncle Norris and Great Aunt Dorcas.

Dear Charlotte and Tim:

Mel has been my friend for a long time. We knew each other as kids and he will be
sorely missed.

Mel was a great friend and teacher. He always seemed to say the right thing whenever we were discussing teaching, golfing or sports.

His passing will leave a void that will be almost impossible to fill. He was many things in life as a husband, father, teacher, financial advisor,
Branford historian and a friend of many.

I am truly saddened to hear about the passing of Mel. He was a wonderful man and a terrific friend who I enjoyed teaching with. May God bless him
