From Brenda and Dave: I have known Mel for over 30 years, we actually worked together in a number of different sections for 20 years. You cannot do that without getting to know someone very well.Besides being an interesting person with a wide range of activities he enjoyed he was a kind hearted soul and very importantly, he had a very good sense of humour. Most days we would spend time in laughter together. Brenda got to know him as well. We will miss him.
