He is survived by his wife (Lisa), daughter (Sandra), son (Jim), brother (Gerry), his five treasured grandchildren (Rex, Ty, Bruin, Abby, and Ella), best friend (Donna), and his cat (Crow), who will all miss him dearly.
Mel was an old-fashioned gentleman who always put his family first. He loved sports - his favourites being hockey, slo-pitch, and golf - and the camaraderie that went with it. He was known for his big heart, huge hugs, and keeping it simple.
He will be greatly missed, never forgotten, and always loved.
