“So sorry to learn of Mel's passing. When we made soup, Mel always showed up to partake... Mel was so much fun, he was always welcome to join in. I can still see the picture of him standing beside the shredder with his tie shredded! Glad he wasn't hurt! And I remember his fondness for saying he ascribed to MBWA: management by walking around! ❤ And that awesome laugh. Rest easy good servant.”
