Dad,
Man I miss you! But also understand it was time and you were ready. It took a very strong man to live the life you had and you were the strongest one I knew. You taught me what it meant to be a man and to work hard for what I wanted. Working for and with you for those years, one thing you said always stuck in my mind. "If the spindle isn't turning, I am not making any money." Those words have served me well in my career so thank you. I have been very lucky to have been so close to you for most of my life giving me time to spend with you whether hunting, fishing or just hanging out. I am so proud of everything you have accomplished and stunned by it as well. You were a man well ahead of your time. It is going to be hard for a long while but I am so glad you are no longer in pain and you went peacefully on your terms. I love you!
Good luck fishing!

Just seeing Mel's picture makes me smile and warms my heart. Loved his chuckle and sense of humor. Even though he loved and was loved by so many, he always made me feel just a little special. I like to imagine him sitting there in heaven at a fishing hole, holding his fishing pole, patiently waiting for a big ole' fish to latch on. Amen.

Dad, you are and always will be a true MAN amongst all men in this world and will be sorely missed. You left a mark in the hearts of everyone who had the honor of knowing you. I love you now and forever. I am a better person for having known you. There will never be another MAN like you ever again. 

My brother, Mike said it best:
 “Dad, you will be greatly missed but I am glad you are no longer dealing with the daily pain. You made me a better person because of the role model you have been. I love you!

Dad passed away  March 4th in the early morning hours.  He went very peacefully,  with family surrounding him. 

I read all of the comments on FB to Dad, and told him the names of everyone that responded to the post a few weeks ago. the one about his heart attack. He was pleasantly surprised at all the people who were wishing him well. It brought tears to his eyes.  I’m so glad he got to experience that moment!

Yes Dad, you will be missed! There will never be another you.  We were all blessed to have shared a moment, a season, or a lifetime with you. I love you!

The mark of a real man; Here lays a man not just any man, THIS man Who is good and we honor, here lays a man Who is fair with integrity is true and above reproach,  here Lays a man who’s hand to create was equal to His hand to care and to help,  here lays a man who truly made a mark upon this Earth then left it a better place.    The above is true.. Think about this, whether you are his child, his grand child or his friend.  May we all work to achieve the same success that seemingly he made with an easy stride,  this is not always in OUR nature, but apparently in HIS DNA.   Each of our lives have been made better by his presence in them.     By Gary
