Summer 1975

Mr. Melton was the best teacher that I ever had, it was summer 1975. The class was small, honestly we were all riveted by his teaching, his personality, his knowledge. In 1982 Ray Albera and I got married, we visited Mr Melton at his home in Altadena/Sierra Madre, he came to our wedding. I thought of him very often throughout the years. He was a truly wonderful person, I am so sorry to receive this notice. Bless you Mr. Melton we will never forget you

I am only hearing of Michaels passing tonight - after failing to reach him over this past year I searched announcements and sadly came to this site.

I was a student in his class at Marshall High and he was more than my teacher - he was mentor, friend, shrink and life guard when I was adrift.

Through his generous sharing of his intellect, wisdom and library I discovered a beautiful, imperfect, joyful, sexy world existed on the otherside of high school.

I am happy to have reconnected in time to be able to tell him how important he was to me then. How my life today is in his debt.

So gutted. Would very much like to know more of his last year if anyone reads this.

I met Michael in 1996 and since that moment we established a wonderful relationship. I remembered the timeshare at El Conquistador. Having a drink outside the pool. Watching movies until 2’oclock in the morning.I will missed him so much. We both have a tough year, but he was a fighter and encourage me to never give up. He used to call me my little angel, but in reality he was an angel for me in this earth. I will always remembered you and hope to see you again sometime in heaven. God is probably happy for all that you had accomplished in this life. I loved you so much! thank you for the laughs,and taught me to become a better person.
