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.

The character of a man reveals itself quickly to other men. . . and so did Melvin's.

It was evident from our enjoyable conversations that Melvin loved his family, was a patriot, and an honest individual with a real joy for living that he contagiously shared with others.

His love of the land, tree farming, and the outdoors was a common interest of all of us on the farm. We spent enjoyable times planting and planning.

Although I will deeply miss his friendship and physical presence at the farm, his spirit will always be there, and I feel his presence and remember him fondly every time I am there.
