Melvin at a Public Health Week Meeting

I worked with Melvin in the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program for many years. He was a great colleague to have. He was easy going and had a great sense of humor. He really cared about the kids we served. I have thought about him often in these 15 years I have been retired from that program, and even though I've lived in Arizona for that time and not had any contact with Melvin, I feel a sense of loss. Melvin touched many lives and the memory of him will live on through those he knew. My condolences to his family and loved ones.
