“I’m so sorry to learn of Mel’s passing. He was such a welcome member of the Red Cross family, joining Bette at so many events & bringing a bright light with him..He showed pride & love of her accomplishments; she doing the same of him & seeing his big smile when the dogs arrived. I fondly remember many occasions where he watched over my German shepherd Seta when we had gathering. He served his country so well and I am honored to have known him. Peace & love to Bette and his family.Yvonne Zecca”
