A kinder mortal person has never walked the face of the earth. I met Mel as a Kiwanian. He always had a smile, a kind word, an impish laugh and an optimistic outlook - especially during the past 5 years. There had to be days that he was really tired, discouraged and frightened, but he never showed those understandable feelings. Instead, he remained constantly busy helping others, especially children, through his membership in his Church, Blue Island Kiwanis and other local philanthropic organizations. Truly one of a kind. He will be remembered, and he will be missed. God bless and look after Mel.
