I am praying for you family and wanted so dearly to be at the service. Uncle Melvin was such a stellar athlete and challenged my teenage son to a basketball game just a few years ago. I will never forget the time that he and Mary let me drive their car between his Army duty station in Utah. I was an eager 13 or 14 year old. Rest in Heaven Uncle Melvin. With Love, Vanessa
