Armando & Ruth

I will always remember Melvin as a member of my Sunday School class. I admired his quietly dignified stature. He was generally soft-spoken, but when he spoke there was depth in his words and wisdom in his opinion.

Melvin was the most accommodating person I have known. I, my family, and others were always comfortable to ask him questions, and for his help, on any household problems - from clogged washing machines to a sagging backyard fence.

He left me a very lasting impression. . . Armando

During the Katrina Relief, I worked as a housing coordinator volunteer. In every housing need situation we encountered, Melvin always showed the aura of confidence and he always geave me the assurance that housing will be found. 

To me, he was the "Southern" gentleman.
