After 39 years of dedication, Mel retired from Toledo Edison in 1990 as a serviceman. He was a member of First Christian Church of Wauseon and IBEW Local 245 in Toledo. For many years, Mel and his family RV traveled throughout the country, at times trailering their horses. After their children were grown, Mel and Melva continued to travel to all 50 states in the U.S. and some international travels including various counties in Europe.
He is survived by his wife, Melva Grisier; children, Cherlynn Spiess, Christine (Mike) Thompson, Craig Grisier and Collin (Anita) Grisier; six grandchildren, Matt Spiess, Mark Spiess, Jeane Blazic, Elizabeth Spiess, Ben Grisier and Emily Smith; 16 great-grandchildren and one expected great-great-grandchild in May and sister-in-law, Okalene Grisier.
Mel was preceded in death by his parents; grandson, Jon Spiess; son-in-law, Tom Spiess; daughter-in-law, Bonnie Grisier; sister, Frances Yackee; brother, DArcy Grisier and brother-in-law, Tom Yackee.
At Mels request, he donated his body to the anatomical donation program at the University of Toledo Medical Center.
