Mel, aka Sonny back in those days, was a great musician in the 1970s. He was a drummer and singer and a great talent. His love for music was very contagious and his amazing voice will live on in our memories forever. He loved the outdoors. Fishing was his get away and he made sure all his kids knew how to do it too. Going camping and being at a lake or in the mountains was his all time favorite. He was a big Detroit Lions fan and loved taking trips to Laughlin. No Shenanigans Daddy!

He will forever be loved and never forgotten. Per Melecio's request, there are no services to be held.
