My memories of Melvin are of a man with strong convictions, especially religious ones. He was also a family man, proud of each one of you.

My other memory of Melvin is that he was skilled in building trades and a source of invaluable information for my many personal projects. When in doubt or ignorance, I asked Melvin. He was patient and helpful. 

I miss him as such a resource. 

I miss him in the Inquirer's Class. 

I miss him as a friend.
