I remember Mel as my older brother. He had a big heart and would offer his advice very quickly. He did so love fishing and he often would talk about a fishing experience in such a way that it became alive for the listener. His laughing eyes and friendly spirit will be missed. My wife and I loved Mel. He will be forever in our hearts.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
