We all miss Mel at Denny's Donuts in South Bloomington.  I  enjoyed Mel's company and developed a deep respect for him over the past few years.  We always morn and pray for one of our departed coffee-drinkers.  I am sure he is looking down from heave now thinking, "That bunch of coffee-drinkers is two clowns short of a circus."

We are sorry to hear of Mel's passing. He will be missed.
