I had the pleasure of having Mel as my supervisor very early on in my career at Scotiabank. He was fair, well considered and generous in sharing of his knowledge.With the hindsight of a 35 year career, he was one of the best bosses I had. I am glad he had the benefit of retirement at a relatively young age so that he could enjoy his remaining years to the fullest. My deepest condolences to you Louise - "his better half."
