Was killed in motorcycle accident shortly after he came back from overseas service. Around 1969? Was very good baseball player, pitcher and outfielder.
I had just gotten home from Vietnam and was with Bill Christen and happened to see Mel at the A&W in Belleville the day before he was killed on his motorcycle.
Mel was one hell of a baseball player.
