Betty, I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet husband. Melvin was such a good man. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. We shared so many good times during the Cherokees years. God Bless and hold you close during this time of sorrow. I Love You, Carol Cinnamon (Trons friend)

Sir, you will be missed, and Hockey will miss you. Glad I got to hang out with you a couple games back. Betty and family you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Always such a joy to see both of you at hockey games and other events. I love growing up with you two. So sad to hear about Pop, he was a wonderful man and will be dearly missed. Love Becky Boyd Testerman (Cheif's Daughter)

Betty and family, 

We are sad that we no longer have Pop here with us while we also rejoice that he his now enjoying his Heavenly home. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Betty and family, 

While we rejoice that Pop has gone to his Heavenly home we are so sad that we no longer have him here. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Melvin you will be greatly missed. Betty, rich and gordie he was such a good man. I used to love the times when daddy would bring me over to visit and play with the trains. Good memories. God bless all of you

Betty and family, Melvin was such a wonderful soul. He was always so kind and caring to me and my family. Loved his laugh and smile. He will be missed! Our thoughts and prayers go with you all.

We were very saddened to hear about Melvin's passing.  He was always our hockey game buddy!  Our heart goes out to Betty and the rest of the family at this sad time.  Our loss is Heaven's gain!

One of the finest men I have ever known.
I will always remember Melvin as a good man, loved his wife and children, and honest.

Melvin, my "foster father".  You had such a sweet spirit and a gentle way.  You and Betty are the only ones, other than my blood relatives, who always had the authority to give me a "whoopin'"  Though the years have separated us, my thoughts and memories always bring me back to that little house on Whittle Springs Road, where I spent so many happy times, where a young man could find a friend to listen, a shoulder to cry on, good advice, and "dollar pancakes" to feed a hungry boy.  Gordon, I never had a father growing up, I hope you didn't mind me using yours.  I will carry "Herbie" with me all of my days.  Herbie was one of the good ones.  God bless and keep you, Betty.  Betty, call me 850-4587.  Gordon, you call me, too!!!!

Larry

Betty, I am so sorry to hear of Melvin's passing.  You are in my prayers.

I think of you reunited with your sisters and parents, now pain-free and in the arms of our Lord. You will be missed! Your gentle spirit, caring soul and subtle humor made you a fabulous Uncle. I love you.
