We have wonderful memories of Uncle Mel. When I was in town he always came and visited and we would play canasta cards till we couldn’t keep our eyes open. Greg has fond memories fishing and bowling with him. He was a great Uncle and an awsome friend. Mom and him were very close. God bless you all!
Just about every weekend when uncle Mel was in town, he could be found playing canasta at grandma Barb’s house. He was loved and will be missed.
