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.

Mustachioed Motorcycle Man

From Imogene:

I will never forget the first time I saw Melvin.

We had just moved from Ohio to a little house on Kirkside on August 2, 1982. We rented this house from Jan's boss and found it literally crawling with bugs. I called the landlord and told him that something had to be done about this problem immediately. He promised to send someone to spray.

A couple of hours later, this motorcycle roared into the driveway, and a mustachioed (and I think I remember, bearded) man crawled off with a sprayer on his back.

Whoa - I called the landlord and asked about this strange guy.

On his assurance, Melvin and I became acquainted - and friends.
