Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

  • It is with heavy hearts hearing of our friend Mel passing away. We send our condolences to his kids, grandchildren and Gaudry family. We will miss your great big smile and wave and we walked into the Metis Club on those Friday nights. (Joelene) I will also miss our little chats that we had during break, talking about our days as kids when my mom worked for your parents and mom often took me to the farm and you always had a hug for me and a kiss on the cheek. Dennis said he will miss his talks with you. My friend you are with the angles and I bet you are already playing the guitar and singing with my dad. Sing with the angels my special friend. - Posted by: Joelene & Dennis Didora (Friends) on: Mar 09, 2018

  • We would like to offer our sincere condolences to Gene, Rachelle and the Gaudry family. Your laughter filled the room and your smile brightened our days. The Jets, Bombers, and Goldeyes lost a super fan! Our family gatherings will never be the same! However you left some everlasting memories that we will cherish. RIP Mel - Posted by: Angie Wark (Friend) on: Mar 08, 2018

  • Our deepest sympathy to the family and extended families. - Posted by: Rosalie (DE Laronde) & Oleh Gulay (Cousin) on: Mar 07, 2018

  • My uncle Mel was always a great big smiling bear to me growing up. Always so encouraging and supportive, especially when he learned I was picking up the guitar. Never once seen him frown, never really seen him down. Even when discussing his illness, the man would crack a joke and smile. Im blessed to have spent new years with him this year and catch a few photos of him, my dad and my grandfather singing. It will be a memory I cherish forever. To all my grieving family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Uncle Mel, I look forward to singing and playing with you again on the big stage in sky. - Posted by: Mathew Gladu (Great nephew) on: Mar 07, 2018

  • I met and knew Mel through my first Husband Roger Nabess and loved listening to him play with his band. R.I.P. Melvin, my condolences to his family. - Posted by: Ann Gislason Nabess (friend) on: Mar 06, 2018

  • My sincere condolences to the family of Melvin. I will always remember him coming over to my parents place and playing guitar and singing. He was such a happy go lucky man. Always had a big smile for me. Although i haven't seen him in years, he was always in my memories. Especially since my own father passed away. They were good friends, I'm sure they'll be having a hoot up there together now. Take care of each other. RIP Melvin. - Posted by: Teresa Olson (family friend) on: Mar 06, 2018
