James A. Melcher

I only knew the Melcher family when they were neighbors to my mom. They were probably the sweetest family I have ever met. Jim was the oldest of the eight children, believe. Really sweet kids as were the parents. I am so sorry for the loss of your brother Jimmy.

My Condolences to All of Jim's family. Remembering good times with Jimmy and my Melcher cousins.

We will miss Jim´s smiling face and caring ways! He was always such a fun addition to our family get-togethers! All our love to you - Judy, Bryan and Shelly!

So sorry to hear of Jim's death. It brings back great memories of our friendship--playing pool,double dating, watching Bowery Boys after school and the Cardinal's licence plate tragedy!

We are so sad at the loss of one of our cousins at a young age.
I hope the family will help Judy and the kids get past this

I love you Jim. You always have your arm open for a big hug and I’m going to miss that. You were just a great big brother to me. ♥♥♥♥

To Judy, your children & the Melcher Family, I offer you our condolences from myself & my family. Jim was a lifetime friend. We were connected thru grade school, high school, the high school band ~ our fathers knew each other as young boys. State Farm & Art's Agency has protected me since the '70's & of course you are aware of the connection w/ Terrie, Murff & our families & friends. Only had the opportunity to see Jim, infrequently, as an adult. That was generally thru Murfff & Terrie 's parties. Here's one for you. Jim, myself & few others roamed the streets of New York City as teenagers in high school in the '60's, w/out adult supervision!! Those adventures will remain "locked in the vault"!! I could go on... Suffice it to say, "he was a character of the first degree, never a dull moment when Jim was around"!! Got to remember the goood stuff! "Our prayers moving forward to you all! John

My deepest sympathy to all of Jim's family. Prayers for all.

Dearest Judy, Bryan, & Shelly,
We are thinking of you and sending you our Deepest Sympathy and our Love. We have such fond memories of Jim. We remember him laughing, being funny, and usually quite jovial. He loved his family so much!!!Please know that we are thinking of you and we will always have such fond memories of Jim. May God bless you!

Great memories of laughter and fun!
The Hayes Family
