When I think of Uncle Mel I think of the times we spent in Rose and Stan's kitchen. How funny Mel was and how comfortable he made me feel, always a part of the family. Bob and I are thinking of you Joan and wish you only the best during this difficult time. Love Janice and Bob
Although we were not very close over the years, Uncle Mel and Aunt Joan were always talked about in our family. All the times they came to visit, the fun Midas Muffler things we got as gifts, and Uncle Mel and his cars. I have fond memories of being a child and when you came to visit Uncle Mel visiting with the "adults" for a few minutes and then him saying "ok kids lets get in the car and go for a ride down the beach" You will always be the "cool" Aunt and Uncle that got to see so much of the world and tell us all about it. And yes, Aunt Joan, I still have the charm bracelet with the charms from everywhere you went. It always reminds me of both of you. I hope these few little stories mentioned will spark memories of some of your trips, special times and wonderful life together. You will be missed Uncle Mel RIP With love and sympathy Susan Schibinger

Dear Aunt Joan, We will always remember fondly our visit with you and Mel, several summers ago. You both were so welcoming and gracious, truly a pleasure to be with. We are so very sorry that we couldn't be with you during this very difficult time. I hope that having Jim, MJ, Peter and Susan there with you will bring you much comfort. You are loved and supported by many dear friends and family. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Lynne and Amanda Rest in peace, Mel
As a kid I always looked forward to your visits as there was fun and great stories to be had. As an adult I looked forward to your visits and very much enjoyed our visit to Dallas. You will always remain in my heart and thoughts. Go Cowboys!!!
When I think of maintaining ones youthfulness I will always think of you! Age never seemed to be a factor in what you accomplished. I will miss you. Love, Bill Kahlke
Mel we have always loved you and we will miss you. Chickie and Hart Kahlke
Mel will always have a very special place in my heart. I always enjoyed the times we spent together when I came down to Dallas to visit. Thank you for taking time to spend with me. I'll never forget the things we did together. When you took me soaring in the sailplane, it was the most serene and wonderful I had ever done. Thanks. I miss you and will always love you. Joan, remember that I will always be here for you, and love you very much. Rest in peace Mel. Love always, Mary Jane Gardner
