My younger brother who always had a calming influence in times of trouble. He taught me the meaning of humility and caring. I will always remember the good and even great times we shared. I only wish we could have shared more good time together. I will miss him.

Deepest sympathies to the Melnick family in this time of loss. My heart and prayers are with you all.
Oh Uncle Don, I’m very sad that you’ve moved on, but today, like everyday I think of you, I smile because I see your smile in my mind. I’m thinking of the joy you didn’t even know you were giving others, by just being there.
You have made an impression on my life, of love, of respect, of happiness and the importance of laughter, of which you very well versed, and of family, and none will be forgotten, but passed on.
All my heart to my Aunt Trudy, my Cousins’ Jenny, John, and Jaime, my Family, and to all this great, lovable man has affected.
Please accept my sincerest condolences to the entire Melnick family at this difficult time upon the news of Don’s passing.
We will be thinking of everyone and holding the family up in prayer.
Sincerely cousin Allan , wife Laurie and our entire family.
So very sorry to hear of Don’s passing. I worked with Don for a number of years at VAC London where he was always a kind and compassionate advocate for the veterans he served. Condolences to his family and friends.
Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead.
A true gentleman. Don supported our son Greg who thought the world of him. Don believed in Greg when others did not. We were so fortunate to learn from Don….. an Amazing man.
