Melvin Shimer Obituary

I heard about Melvin's untimely tragedy in a round-about way and, needless to say, I am extremely sadden over his loss I am sure that, although a loss, his memories will live on forever, as there were many good moments that we all had with him.

I have completed my contractual obhligations for some time now and trying to get back into the run of the mill thanks in large part to the VA who has been helping me in this adjustment. I had planned on contacting you but I simply did not get around to it as I have been so busy.

Again my prayers and thoughts are with you always as you travel through this time of grief. Melvin will be greatly missed by all..

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Bonnie, I'm so sorry Al and I were out of town and not able to attend the services for Melvin. I hold so many memories of our growing up next door to each other. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Bonnie and Family, God be with you all. Clara and I were so sorry to hear of your husbands passing. Mel you will be missed by so many from Willow Point. You would always brighten our day with your smiles and stories. you always would lend a helping hand even though it wasn't your job. We will miss seeing your smiling face when we make our visits to Willow Point, but we know you are in God's care now, no more pain or suffering.... Your freinds Joyce and Clara.

Our sympathy to the entire Shimer family on the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, son and brother. Keep your memories close to your heart and he will always be with you. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Bonnie, his love for you is never ending. Stay strong through your memories & your family.
Kids although you likely don't remember me as you saw little of me your dad was proud of his family.
Melvin you have left a vast emptiness in my heart. I remember our childhood fun like playing hide n seek around the house and in the barn & hay mow. You were the best cousin I ever had.
Your cousin, "Ellie May"

To the Shimer family and Lisa (classmate from 91),
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. We (Dawn and Susan West) had the pleasure of working with Mel at Sullivan Park. He always made us laugh. We loved to hear his stories and it was obvious that he loved his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mel you were a truly kind person and one that will be surly missed by all. Most of all I'll miss the "good ole eats" we shared over the years and also those hay rides! Maggie will miss you too!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you at your time of grief.

Bonnie, you may remember me as Carl Hitchcock's ex-fiance. I remember going to see the Aristocats at the drive-in with you and Melvin when you were courting! I was so sorry to hear of his untimely death.
I have started a whole new life and have a new name, I went from Nancy Luke, to Nancy Brotzman for 30 years, now Nancy Hallock for 4 years. I am still trying to get in touch with Carl, but haven't heard a thing since he got out.

I am saddened by your departing. I already miss your smiling face and all the laughs we had at WP. I will carry those special memories in my heart. My prayers are with your wife and family. From Penny Jo or Jo Penny as you always called me.

Please accept my deepest condolences on Mel passing and to you Mel...you were a great co-worker, a bud, and I will miss you being on this earth with us. I am thankful to have known you my pal if I should make it to heaven, this ole harley girl will look you up...and just so you know orange.
