I just learned of Melvin\’s passing. Judy, I don\’t know if you remember me or my family. We lived across the road that went to your home in Milford many years ago. Emily and Charles Williams were my parents. I remember going to yall\’s home a lot to play. Melvin was a good man and I\’m sure he will be missed by many

Daddy, Words can’t describe the emptiness and unrelenting pain I feel at this moment. My precious, little angel father is no longer here with me. I’m completely lost knowing I can’t see or hear your voice again. My one and only goal in life was to make you proud of me by the achievements in life. I know that you lived your life and your dreams through me. It gave you an overwhelming feeling of joy being a proud father watching your one and only son be successful in the things that you always would teach me and had wished you would have done yourself…..Because of that, it pushed me more and more because all I ever wanted was for you to be proud of your son. Now that you’re not here, I regret not spending more time with you and telling you how much I really love you and the impact and drive you instilled in me. I’m so sorry daddy. I’m so sorry. I love daddy. I love you daddy so much and I’m so sorry daddy. Your one and only precious son. Bryan

I shared a friendship and working relationship with Melvin for over 35 years. Melvin touched my life in many ways because he was always there to help me in time of need whether it was assisting with renovating my home or assisting me with issues in my businesses. I will always hold fond memories of our 35 year friendship. May you rest in peace.

My heart is broken into millions of pieces Daddy and it won’t ever be whole again. You will forever be thought of and missed endlessly. Love always, “Daddy’s Baby Girl”
