I worked many years with Mel and his brother Bill at NASA. He was a very blessed and giving person. I can remember talking about the blind cow that would walk the farm but always ended up in the pond. H was a good friend and co-worker and Will be missed by all.

I worked with Mel as a fellow firefighter at the NASA LeRc Fire Department.
Mel was a great friend and a class act.
Mel was a kind and gracious man who never had a harsh word to say about anyone.
Mel was a fireman's fireman, a true professional.
Mel and his wife kindly hosted a wonderful NASA Fire Department picnic on their farm.
Mel you will be missed.
Thank you for your service to our country, the NASA LeRc Fire Department and certainly your township.
