July 24, 2023 at 10:54 pmAww… I loved Mel! I worked at the Sunglow in Spanish Fork for a few years and he was such a cutie! He would sometimes meet Annie there for dinner and they would reminisce about the old days, I think they were cousins (?). Mel was a sweet man. I am glad to have had the chance to meet him!
