Mel's dedication and determination had a profound impact on our students. His commitment enabled many to achieve their goals and their achievements are his legacy. 
To his family my most sincere condolences .

So sorry to hear of Mel's passing. He was a true advocate of students with disabilities here at CBU. Ken Bickerton

Mel helped me have my most successful university year in my first year at CBU.  His friendship and support were important to me and got me through some very difficult times.  I don't think I would have had the success I had without him - scholarships, grades I hadn't had since high school.  I will be forever grateful to Mel and he will always be in my heart.  His loved ones should know that he had a very positive impact on many students' lives, he was a good person.  So understanding and empathetic, the perfect person for his job.  He will be missed dearly.

My sincere condolences to Mel's family and friends....may you rest in peace!
