Could not have asked for a more loving, caring brother. Even growing up together, you were always so much fun. I want so badly to hear you laugh again, to hug you, to share memories…I can’t stop thinking about you.
I am so grateful G-d blessed me to be your sister. I love you…eeh!
Deepest sympathies to Mel’s family. I was looking up other obituaries and was surprised to see Mel’s. My brother Mark and I knew Mel in high school. I remember Mel as a sweet, funny guy who was always smiling. It is nice to know he carried that shining nature throughout his life, even through adversity–it shows n the photos. God bless Mel and all of you.
