Dear Mitzi, Terry, Lewis and Ronny. You and the world have lost one of the finest human beings I have ever known. For many years he was a second father to me and he will be missed in the same way. My condolences and heart are with you. Mel's memory will always live on. Strange to say, I was just talking about his goodness and influence on me a few days ago with my wife Brenda who stated that she wished that she had known him. She joins me in my and so many others' tears. Much love to all.
