Mel is a graduate of Monarch Park Collegiate Institute, where he also enjoyed playing football as the team's quarterback. At the age of 21, he was hired by the TTC as a Driver. Throughout his career he worked hard to move up through the ranks to become a mechanical and electrical engineer before retiring.

Mel's favourite hobbies included, rebuilding computers, troubleshooting and repairing Honda vehicles, photography, and roller-skating. He enjoyed all types of music, including classical and funk, and he especially loved music he could dance roller-skate to. He continued roller-skating well into retirement, and could often be found working as a Safety Guard at Scooters roller rink in Mississauga.

Mel will be deeply missed by those closest to him, for he was loved.
