Condolence: To several friends he was, Melvin, to me and his family he was our Bubba. I nicked name him Bubba because I was his little sister and he was the perfect big brother that developed into the most perfect husband, father, and grandfather that anyone could ask for. I adored and idolized him all my life and I am truly lost without him. You have earned your wings and fly peacefully in Heaven Big Brother. Love you always, Marilyn

Condolence: Melvin meant the world to me. He was the grandfather I never had. He was always wearing a smile so big or had a great joke to tell you. More than anything he had a love for life, his wife, I only hope to dance as much with my husband as he did with his wife. Melvin and my family worked together for 17 years. Melvin. There are just no words to describe the amazing man he was, is and, will always be in my heart, mind and life. With all of my love and respect, Melvin, you are a angel that will truly be missed. Send you love always, Jennifer Goode -
