Worked with Chan at Smith Protective Services for a number of years, one thing he taught me was, "Never take anyone's dignity away from them no matter what, if you do you can forget about any co-operation from them".

Dear Monte, Wilma, Jessica & Mileon,
It's taken me this long to come to grips with the loss of Uncle Melvin and my sweet Aunt Barbara's changes. For as long as I can remember they have both been at the core of this family and my childhood experiences. In recent years Aunt Barbara has become like a mother to me after the loss of her sister, my Mom. She & Uncle Melvin's visit here in California was a reminder of the love and positivity they and their years of marriage brought to all of our lives. To say he will be missed does not begin to convey the emptiness not having him creates. I'm grateful for Uncle Melvin's endeavors, accomplishments, all of you--the immediate family he created and the extended family he sustained, and the generosity he showed me as a child and an adult.
I send my love to you all,
Cheryl
