Lovingly remembered by Jeanie, his wife of 35 years; his children, Millie, Joan, Bev, Don and John; 15 grandchildren; 16 great grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. Mel was predeceased by his former wife Ollie, his four brothers, Jim, Allan (Allie), George and Doug, and his three sisters, Evelyn, Myrtle and Mabel.

Mel led a very full and interesting life and will be fondly remembered by many.
