I’m having a hard time dealing with the loss of my brother. You don’t expect him to go before his older sister. I know how much he missed Karen, his heart was really broken.
He loved his sons and wives very much, and was so very proud of his daughters and his grandchildren. They all will remember his stories, jokes, and good nature. Rest In Peace my brother, I know your with the love of your life. May God Bless your family during this sad time. You did so many different things that you always had people guessing. One of a kind! You kept people guessing that’s for sure! All our love Karen and Marty. I know Ernie and Mom& Dad, Lois &Irwin will Welcome you to heaven.
Oh Mel! Thank you for the good memories and for always, always having an interesting and funny story to tell. You were loved and you will be missed.
I am a friend and co-worker of Greg Erickson and my heart goes out to his entire family. I can only imagine the pain and sorrow his family is going through and It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. Mel must have been a great father because Greg is a great man. Greg always spoke highly of his father and how much he enjoyed spending time with him. I know he will be missed dearly. May he rest in peace.
