Daddy I miss you so much. You went to heaven a year ago today (5/30/12) and a day doesn't go by where you are not thought of, appreciated and loved. You taught me so much and my life is rich because of you. I know you are always with me and watching us from above. You are home in our Lord's arms and farming there in heaven. I look towards the day when I get to feel your arms wrapped around me again. I love you daddy! I know you are in a better place and that you are no longer in pain. I pray that as the days go by the pain of losing you will lessen for me. You are my world and I thank God that I am your baby girl. Until we meet again, my love and gratitude to you always. Love, Dee Dee

To My Sweet Daddy,
Today we experience another first. Although you are forever in my heart, this is my first birthday without your physical presence. I thank both you and mom today for giving me life, and for modeling for me what it means to be honest, hardworking, considerate and tolerant. I am also thankful for the last month we had together. I am so glad that you are no longer suffering. I imagine you in heaven with your Mom, Dad, Uncle Al, Aunt Florine and Debbie Do leading the way. I will keep my word to you and watch over Mom to keep her happy and safe until we are all together again. I feel your presence in the trees and they are thriving under your watch. Be at peace daddy, you deserve it more than anyone that I know. Much love and blessings from #3.
Grandpa, Tina & Tiff

Tribute to my Daddy
"Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy."
I will always be my daddy’s little girl.
I loved him with all my heart.
My dad was a very special individual.
There was no one like him.
My daddy was one of the most important people in my entire life.
He taught me so much.
Life lessons that made me the person I am today.
Working hard, being ethical, having strong values
Treating people with respect
Taking responsibility for your own actions
Owning up to your mistakes
Honesty, integrity, devotion, and dedication are not just words but actions to be demonstrated daily.
Life isn’t easy but you get out of it what you put into it.
I am so thankful for the time I had with him on this earth and the many memories that I will always cherish.
I miss him more than I can say but I know that one day I will be in his arms again.
I love you Daddy!
For those who have experienced loss, there isn't much you can do except remember the good times and carry that person's spirit in your heart.
Daddy, you will always be with me!

Thank you so much for being such a WONDERFUL grandpa.
I LOVE YOU
I cant wait to see you again.
I will take care of grandma for you grandpa, I know you are taking care of us all as an angel (:

Renee and Family
I see the light of love on your father's journey and rest assure he is at peace and he is looking forward to embracing his mother, father, daughter-in-law and lots of friends. What appears like pain in your heart now will shift into love and gratitude because your father who loves you is about to start his double duty roll as your angel.
You are loved,

Our deepest sympathy during this difficult time. I will never forget the first time we met you Margaret and Tony, remember "How do you like your dually?" That windy gritty day in Quartzite Arizona. We didn't know each other before those memorable words, but we had a lot of fun because of them. We will miss you Tony, but we know that you are in a better place and watching over all who are precious to you. Margaret and family, we are thinking of you always we hope that this will find you all in good health! All our Love and Best Wishes from Garry and Shirley in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada.

Our condolences to the Mello family. I was a sales colleague of Tony when we were employed by Pioneer Equipment Co.
Tony was a straight arrow in all his dealings with farmers and a great guy to work with.

My deepest sympathy to Mr. Mello's family. It was always a pleasure to be around Mr. Mello & the family. I remember Pismo Beach also. I especially remember seeing him at the homestead, whenever we were with Raymond. I'll be keeping all the loved ones in my prayers. God Bless You All. Much Love & Respect.

To the Mello Family,
Some of my happiest memories growing up are with you all. Pismo Beach, dune buggy riding, Suicide hill, camping on the beach, Fourth of July in Pismo, card games, parades. You were all so much fun!! Thank you for always loving us unconditionally. Thank you for loving my mom and making her feel loved. Uncle Anthony and Aunt Margaret you and your children are some of my favorite people and I can’t put into words how special you are and what a difference you have made in my life. I know my mom and dad are smiling and Uncle Anthony is calling him “Uncle Bill” in person! I love you all and thanks for the great memories. Your cousin, Mari

I cant believe I'm standing here,
Saying my goodbyes
To a Dad that meant the world to me,
My Dad with big hazel eyes
Anyone who loved him
Will know how I feel today,
My Dad was the sunshine of my life
Who could light up the darkest days.
So goodbye Dad, my amazing Dad,
Take your wings and fly
To eternal happiness to your reward,
through the big gates in the sky.
You will be greatly missed. I love you Dad.
