Not sure what to say?

He was a very pleasant and decent man. My aunt Susan Schaller had Mr. Melia paint her family portrait, which hung in her Dining Room, on Schantz Ave. His work is very beautiful and professional.

I am so saddened to hear of his passing. I have one of his pieces of art work (Liberace 1/500) and I just love it. My heart felt prayers for those he loved left behind.

I am so sad to learn Paul has passed away. My family has many of his beautiful and cherished portraits.
With sympathy,
Nancy Howe Fruechtenicht

Thinking of you at this time with sympathy and love. May God wrap his loving arms around all of you, as you celebrate the wonderful life of Paul. With love, Angie Robinson and daughter Shayna

Many thoughts and prayers to you in the days ahead.

Growing up with Paul's daughter, Becky, I thought Mr. Melia was the coolest dad EVER! From his Donald Duck voice to his funny faces, he would have us giggling throughout the Melia household. Spending time with Paul was always such fun. I will cherish those fond memories forever. Love, and prayers to Carol, Mike, Teri, Lisa, Becky and the rest of the family. He and his artistic talent will be greatly missed by many.

Several of my friends have portraits that Paul did. What a talent he was. May he rest in peace

We're so pleased to have had Paul as a friend of our family and a friend as a fellow artist. His wonderful portraits grace our home and are and will always be a lasting remembrance of Paul and his remarkable talents.
