As a fellow cube-mate of his from our time together at Bell I only have good memories of him to carry with me. He never had an unkind word towards anyone. My condolences to the family.

My original note is blank for some reason. I remember Mel as a kind and fun man. I worked with him at Bell Helicopter. My wish is for the family to find comfort in their happy memories of him.
