Mel was born in Grand Falls, NFLD. He was six years old when he moved to Kitchener, Ontario. He met Mary-ann in 1981, and asked her if she believed at love at first sight. He told everyone he was going to marry her. Well low and behold they moved in together 3 months later and were married November 15 1985. They have been together for 40 years. Mel was a loving husband and father. He had the gift to gab, and often joked, he would even talk to the devil. His hobbies before he was sick was darts, horseshoes, bingo and mainly riding his motorcycle until he no longer could. He and Mary-ann traveled to Cuba, Domincian, Las Vegas, Alberta and finally started to Winter in Florida. He worked at Polycon Automotive, as a Tow Motor Operator. Due to illness, he retired at the age of 47. His siblings and friends were also a very big part of his life.
