Melvin served in the Army during the Korean War, worked as a skilled mechanic for several years and owned more than one service station, including one in Searcy. After that, he bought a big truck and was in the trucking industry until he retired. He had the biggest heart and was always willing to help anyone in need. He loved his family with absolute honor and devotion until the day he passed from this life. He was so much fun to hang out with! He was an excellent card player, and a bit of a pool shark back in his prime. He will be missed tremendously by a very large number of people.
