You were my  best friend, my mentor, and my hero. I miss you and miss hearing your voice. Love You Buddy.

Love and miss you Papa. You're in our hearts and prayers.

Love you and miss you every day.  Sherri, Shawn, Brianna and Ava

I had the absolute pleasure of cutting Mel's hair for 10 years- what a kind and gentle human being we've lost.  We called him the Marlboro Man... 
My sincerest sympathy to Mel's family and friends and especially Kathy, you made him so happy.   I pray the memories provide comfort for your pain.


When I worked at Nordson, I remember Mel's smile and he always would take the time to see how you were doing.
My condolences to Mel's family during this difficult time.

Always remembered your friendly smile, wave and hard work. I've been gone from Nordson for almost a decade, but never forget the good times & good people!

We are so sorry for your loss.
We always enjoyed Mel - his humor & conversation - when he would come in for his haircut. He put a smile on our faces. We will miss him.

My condolences to the family.  Mel was a dear friend who we counted on numerous times at Nordson---always was glad to help with that big smile of his.  Taken way too early, he will be truly missed.

Becky,I am so sorry to hear about Melvin. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I knoe how hard it must be to lose your big brother but know your mom and him are looking down and watching out for all of u.

...if nobody smiled, and nobody cared and nobody helped us along,if every moment looked out for itself and good things always went to the strong, if nobody thought just a little about you and nobody cared about me, and we stood all alone,in the battle of life what a dreary old world this would be. life is sweet, just because of the friends we have made and the things which in common we share, we want to live on, not because of ourselves, but because of the people who care. it is in doing and giving for somebody else, on which all life's splendor depends,and the joy of this world, when you've summed it all up, is found in the making of friends. your kind heart will be missed.

Mel, I will miss your hello/goodby wave from Nordson's parking lot when I"m working in the yard.  Have known you for years while working at Nordson and after I retired.  Blessings to you and your family.

I had the pleasure of meeting my Sister's Father one time and it was a Please! Carol and Jordan miss you tremendously and I wanted to give my Prayers and condolensces to the Family. May the Lord Bless the Family and heal their hearts in this difficult time....

Mel, I don't know how to express just how empty my life will be without you; there is now a huge space that will never be filled by anyone ever again. I loved your wit and the way you smothered mom with love and made her happy; she seemed to light up when you were there. Just the thought that I can no longer call you and there will be no more calls from you just breaks my heart. Don't know that I can ever get over the shock and suddenness of losing you this way, but I do know that you'll be in my heart and mind forever. We'll get together again some day. Love You Mel (my big brother)

Mel was one of God's unique creations.  He always had kind words to say and I never saw him down.  Even though I know he had bad days, he was truly a gentle and kind soul who blessed everyone that he was around.  I'm going to miss my friend.

Mel...Nordson will never be the same without you.  Miss you very much.  You may be gone, but will never be forgotten. God Bless you and your Family.

We enjoyed working with Mel for many years at Nordson.  He always had a smile and willing to go the extra to help everyone.  We enjoyed talking about cars with Mel. He will be greatly missed.

       Treasured Moments
     I treasure every moment you spent in life with me.
I hoped to have you longer, but its not meant to be.
You left this world so suddenly.  I think my heart went too. I feel so lost and lonely from missing you. 
I know your in a better place. I know your happy there. I know one day I'll join you but the wait is to hard to bear. 
My heart feels like its breaking, as I try to carry on. 
You my life my everything, but now dad you've gone.
I pray that God will give me strength until he calls me too.
Then what joy will fill my heart when I'm again with you. 
We love you daddy and will miss you everyday. You will be in our hearts forever and never be far from our thoughts. Brianna misses you so much, she misses her "Pop". Shawn misses you, you filled the void of his father who was also taken way too soon. I miss you my father/mother/best friend. Love you always, Sherri, Shawn, Brianna and Ava.

Mel was such a wonderful, funny, self-less person.  He helped us decorate the Christmas tree in the lobby...well he ate cookies and put the star on top...We were so blessed to have him. Please accept my most heart felt condolences for your loss.

Mel you will be missed by everyone when you first started comming into bob evans and said burn my patty as a cook i said what the heck he said burn it i will burn it and burnt it every time after that! you were/are a great man and you made cathy and her family unbelievably happy! god must have needed you very badley for him to take you so soon! know that you will be missed.

Mel, I love you, and I will miss your warm smile, and that great sense of humor. You were a strong rock of a man, and it seemed you could do almost anything. If someone had a problem with anything, they would usually call you for advice first, and you could come up with an answer somehow. You were happiest when you had the entire family together for holidays, especially Christmas, that was your favorite time of year. It's going to be hard going on without you in my life, but it gives me peace just knowing that your in the arms of Jesus now, and that I will see you again some day.
  
Thank you for being a great brother Mel,
Love you always,
Linda

The Lord blessed me with the best partner any women could dream of having. You are not only my partner you are my best friend (my counter critter). The memories we have made together so fill my soul. I now know what it feels like to be truly loved and to have loved completely. You were taken so quickly and I miss you so much, but you now have peace and that will bring me peace. Thank you to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers. I love you Mel forever and always.

Kathy, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love,

Kathy & Famiily
Grief can be so hard, but your special memories will help you cope. Remembering you and Mel today and always.
