My name is Caitlin and I am Mel’s daughter. My father was a healthy, energetic man who unexpectedly passed away yesterday. I am making this to help my mother out with funeral costs, bills, etc. My father spent the last year of his life being a stay at home grandpa. My father loved playing softball/baseball. If he wasn’t playing he was coaching baseball for Gloversville school district and Gloversville little league. My father was also a Marine for a long time before meeting my mother. He truly loved everyone and was the happiest, most patient and kind person ever. We appreciate all of the kind words and we will keep updated on a day and time for services. Any amount helps and we appreciate anything.
