Melvin A. Sampson "Mel, Dad, Chief, Pup, Uncle Mel & Mr. Sampson" of Kingston MA, passed away at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth MA on January 8, 2023, at the age of Ninety-Two with his daughter and niece by his side.

Loving Father of Gordon Sampson and his wife Christine; Grandfather to Jessica, Nicole & Tiffany and Great Grandfather to Ava, Lulu & Olivia all of Sarasota FL. Brother of the late LeRoy F.

Mel was a veteran who proudly served in both the Navy & Army. He was a licensed master plumber/gas fitter. Worked for Commonwealth Gas (Eversource) until his early retirement at the age of Fifty-Five. Mel was a member of the Shriners and Freemasons of Plymouth Lodge AF&AM, American Legion Post 40 and the Cold Spring Club. Melvin enjoyed playing cards, fishing, boating, walking, cribbage, sudoku, puzzles and living life to the fullest.

At the request of the deceased, there will be no services. Celebrate with those that bring love & joy to your life, by raising a glass as we toast to Mel for the lessons he taught us on being the best that we can be; for the heart and souls that he touched along this journey of life. CHEERS!

Dear Linda,
I will miss your father walking by the house every day. He was determined to walk as much as he could. Mel always was so pleasant, he had positive words to greet you with every time you saw him. Rocky Nook lost a legend. I am so sorry for your loss. Cindy Doyle
