Melvin was a kind, sincere and caring man. One of the best - I have ever had the pleasure and honor of knowing. While we are mourning the loss of this great man I know Mark and Matthew are rejoicing to see him again! Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal.
