We met Mel and Geri while Mel and my husband Pete flew for Aloha Air. My heart ❤️ goes out to Geri. Pete passed away just 3 months after Mel. These two are 'flying high' and in a better place. God bless you Geri. 🙏😢💔
Much Luv and Aloha 💖🌴

I came to know Mel over the past several years during his pre-sunrise walks with his beloved wife, Geri. Mel never mentioned his distinguished military service that was extraordinary or his elite status as an Air Force pilot while serving on active duty and with the Hawaii Air National Guard, rising to the rank of a full-bird Colonel. So spread your wings, Mel after you have touched so many lives with a sense of humility and compassion for your fellow man. And as I watch the sun rise over Koko Head each morning, I know it is Mel’s smiling face shining down upon our Hawaii Kai dog walking and people walking daily gathering.
