Rear Admiral Arthur J. Lawrence, Jr., Assistant Surgeon General (Ret.)
July 31, 2024
During the time that Mel and I worked together as US Public Health Service Officers, on occasion got to critique each other's draft written materials. I usually told Mel that he wrote more than necessary and Mel, also usually, told me that I need to write more to add clarity. Our discussions were sometimes spirited, yet fully respectful. In the net, and proven over time, Mel made me into a better writer and thinker. Although it didn't strike me at the time, he indeed was a mentor to me. His writing and research skills continued to be displayed in his editing skills for the Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. professional periodicals. While Mel may not be physically present, his skills as passed to me, and I am sure many others, will remain a hallmark of who Mel is: a brilliant and dedicated professional. A life well lived. My deepest condolences to all of the family.

I was so sorry to read of your loss and wanted to offer my condolences to your family. My hope is that you will find a measure of comfort from your memories, find faith in scriptural promises and gain strength in prayer and the prayers of others.
