Melvin Maas Alec as he was fondly called by us was like a bigger brother.  He was always there from childhood. We enjoyed his cooking, his quiet and friendly personality.  He will always be in our hearts.  May he enjoy eternal rest with the Lord Jesus Christ.

My Wife Elaine and I are deeply saddened by the passing of someone we have known for so many years. Although unexpected, we should not be mourning. Instead, celebrate his life.. He was a true, humanitarian, loving, a proud Father and grandpa, peaceful, kind hearted and a dedicated husband to his Loving Wife Daphne Jacobs. He was loved by the community, the many Jamaican Nationals, Canadians, and other Caribbean nationals who also called him their friend.
As the years go by and friendships come and go, it's a pleasure to see two people who love each other so much, although saddened by the sudden passing of Mr. Melvin Jacobs. My wife congratulates Mrs. Daphne Jacobs for such loving and caring for over five decades - a rarity in today’s society.  We pray for the family as they undergo this moment of loss. Wishing them all the best for years to come. Life is what we make of the challenges we face over the years. For better or worst, sickness or health, till death do we part. We give praise to them for saying these words and living up to them. After 50+ wonderful years as a couple, they will not be forgotten.
There is a kind of beauty that is never on the cover of a magazine. It's the kind of beauty that comes from within and never fails to shine, the kind of beauty a couple like you possesses.  We know how truly wonderful you were. Happiness from within is more appreciated when it is shared thank you for sharing with us over the years.
May God's richest blessing be bestowed upon the Family as you enter into a new chapter of life's journey without Melvin.
 Remembering with thankfulness how wonderful it was to have had someone like him, our condolences.  May the sympathy of others and his precious memory help to comfort us- at this time of celebrating, our caring thoughts are with you all. Thanks be to God for the great things he has done.
