September 10, 2024 at 2:36 pmTo Olive and Family. I only just heard of Mel’s passing. Please accept my sincerest of condolences. I had the pleasure, as did many others, of working with and knowing Mel from our Telephone days and for me since he left. He was a joy to be around no matter what was going on in his life and that I admired and respected him for.
I pray that the love of your Family and Friends and the many fond memories help you all through this most difficult of times
