Melvin loved to dance, golf, read and attending sporting events, especially his grandson’s ice skating, cross country, and sports meets. He was a special husband, father and grandfather, and loved laughing. Melvin had a unique sense of humor and was a friend to all. We will miss his smile and his kind ways.
