Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

  • We were deeply saddened to read of Mel's passing. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife and family. Our friendship goes back to high school days in Killarney when Mel was known as 'Melody Mel' as he sang his way back and forth to school. He was a devoted family man and always shared his love of the outdoors and sports with his friends and through his newpaper column. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. - Posted by: Bob and Phyllis Preston (Friends since high school in Killarney) on: Aug 07, 2012
