Sad news this morning

[materene]

My Brothers I awoke to a private message on my facebook account from Mustang Mel's sister in law, the following text is that message. It seems she may have typed his last name with two L's , someone might verify this completely but I thought in the interest of time I would forward it to you and the facebook groups.  America has lost another good Son

"I am sister in law of Mel Howell and just found out this evening that Mel has passed away. I saw you on his timeline and thought ?I would tell you. I am handling arrangements at Browning Funeral Home in Evansville Indiana"
