Gerald Fix was very upset when told of Mel’s passing.
Gerald always referred to him as Uncle Mel and would reminisce about their days together on citizens on patrol.
Gerald also spoke about Mels help with the ham radio club.
So sorry Diane and family, much condolences.
Eloise and Gerald Fix

Sorry to hear of Mels passing. He was a great mentor in my early days with citizens on patrol maple ridge. Mel portrayed tough exterior but real softly the inside and would go many lengths to help person.
