Sorry to here of the loss of your dad
Have known and respected Melvin for 45 years. Worked at the cement plant with him until he retired. He was an expert chemist and expert saw sharpener. None better. Have worked with Gene and Kenny and went to school with Diane. Good people. A good man gone way too soon.
I am sorry for your loss. Praying for all of his loved ones.
So sorry for your loss. Lewis and I thought a lot of Mr. Nelson. He will be missed by us.Tell your mom we will see her as soon as we get home.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
I think I was probably the first grandchild to call him Grand-daddy. Back then, the first crop of us grandkids we were taught him to call him Uncle Melvin, but he was the only Grandfather I knew and at some point in my life I decided that it just felt right to call him Grand-daddy. He never told me not to, as a matter of fact he seemed to enjoy it, so.... I did! Life has a way of moving us onward and sometimes that means a-way, but I've never forgotten sitting in his lap as a child and reading the Saturday morning paper (though I couldn't actually read) or his excitement over showing me a new computer program or gadget in his saw-sharpening shop whenever I would visit after I grew up and got married. Then there were the warm hugs he always gave each time I came over. I loved him and he loved me. That was enough. My memories of him are sweet and I look forward to the day that we all see him along with the rest of our loved ones who have already passed. RIP Grand-daddy and if you have time while strolling through the golden streets of paradise please find Mama and tell her we said Hello and that we miss her too.
