Condolence From: Jim Melfi (JF)
Condolence: Aunt Chris, Willi and Marcea

I am so sorry the Uncle Bill is gone. My earliest memories of Bill were from Las Cruces, when he was studying to be an electrical engineer. He was always great to be around. He always had a smile. I thought it was cool that he went out to kwajalein atoll as part of that missile range testing, living in a place that was exotic.
He was always nice to me, and always had a little joke. I remember all the parties at his home, and how great that was.
It has been sad for me now that he is gone, and I will pray for you and your family.

Love

JIM

Condolence From: Louise Melfi
Condolence: Dear Aunt Chris, Will, Marcea, and grandchildren: I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I only have fond memories of Uncle Bill. He had such a wonderful personality. Every time Jim and I and our children attended one of the many parties he and Aunt Chris hosted, he always made us feel special. He had a relaxed way about him, I always felt comfortable as one of his guests. I like that he was always genuinely interested in how our children were doing. It was evident that he was a wonderful father to his children and cherished his wife, Chris. Family was everything to him. I will truly miss his beautiful smile. We will pray for comfort in these difficult days ahead. Please know that he will be fondly remembered by so many who loved him. Louise Melfi and family.

Condolence From: Paula Creel
Condolence: Dear Melfi family,
I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Melfi (that's always his name since high school). I knew him since Marcea and I played soccer together in high school and he has been my work neighbor for the past several years. I am so sad I will not be seeing his smiling face and saying hi. Your entire family is in my thoughts. Paula Creel (Saxe).
