Hello to The Mellon Family,

I am so sorry for your loss.

I had no idea what had happened.

It was not until Christmas Eve, 2023, that I found out that Micheal had passed.

I tried calling the last number that I had, but it was disconnected.

So sorry for your loss.

It leaves a giant black hole in one's life...

I first met Mike around 1971, whilst he was working at Radio Shack, in Upper Darby, PA.

I was Mike's Wedding Photographer.

I worked at the Eric Terminal Movie Theatre, where Mike had become friends with the staff there, and met his Wife Celia...

I was there when Mike lost his Father...

I only wish that I could have been there more...

I went into a tailspin for several weeks after I found out the Mike had passed.

There were so many things I wanted to talk to him about...

Best regards,
Joseph

I met Mike when we worked together over a Christmas sewer. If I said he was a nice guy to know and work with, it would be an understatement. After he took another position, he would often stop by with his wife to say hello and just chat. I know fought the good fight with grace and dignity, because that was just who he was.
My heart goes out to the family for their loss. Hold onto and cherish your memories. Know his soul has left an indelible footprint on those he met.
