Rosalinda predeceased Melvyn in December of 2014. He leaves behind his siblings, sons, and grandchildren.
Melvyn moved to Southern California when he was 18, right after graduating high school from Drury High School in North Adams. He continued to live in Southern California for the rest of his life. He was a very devoted son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather.
During his life, Melvyn worked very hard at providing for his family and was generous to a fault. He was beloved by anyone who was lucky enough to get to know him at all. His love of sports was apparent to anyone who set foot in his home. He was devoted to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Rams, and the Los Angeles Lakers. You could always catch the latest game or big fight on in his living room, surrounded by his sons and family.
He passed away on July 14, 2021. He was surrounded by family during the last days of his life, many of whom journeyed from all over the country to be able to say goodbye to a great man. He will be honored by a graveside ceremony on August 5, 2021, at Rose Hills Memorial Park, 3888 Workmill Road, Whittier, California 90601, followed by a reception. Arrangements provided by Funeraria del Angel, Chino, (909) 628-2329.
