Memories

Several people have inquired about a place to share their memories of my father. I hope that this site can serve that purpose. Please email me your relections - tiffinylorraine@mac.com - and I'll copy them onto this site. Please include your name, even if it is just a first name. Thanks.

Remembering Poppa.


Melvin, out cutting a Christmas tree, just weeks before he died.


Melvin, in a classic after-Thanksgiving-dinner nap. This one was 2007 in Fairhope.


Melvin died under these trees. Jan found a lot of comfort in the fact that there were three of them watching over him, just as he had three daughters.


Isabelle felt compelled to use the skills that Poppa taught her, and she made this memorial marker for the spot where he died. She nailed the pieces together, helped paint it, and carried it out and placed it.


Rest in Peace, Poppa.


This is a display case that we created to house some important pieces of Melvin's life.
