Relation: Melvin was my neighbour here on Salt Spring Island
Melvin was a gentle appreciative man. I wish his spirit peacefulness and I send my sincere wishes for comfort to Maeghan and to his family. May you find comfort in your memories of happy times together…I am so saddened that he is no longer here.
From: Mark Viljoen
I knew Melvin for a number of years. He was incredibly resilient, having survived many a setback starting at a young age. He was quiet and gentle but fiercely independent and attuned to injustice and unfairness. Melvin was always reading, not easy reading but novels and serious literature. He was unforgettable and I think of him often. He found the peaceful life he deserved with his wonderful partner Meaghan and her family on beautiful Saltspring Island.
