In 1954, Melvin married Peggy Ann Cherry and for sixty-seven years was a devoted husband to Peggy and a loving father to their daughter, Jennifer. Melvin worked with Whitley Electric and Bridgestone Firestone. Retirement allowed him to pursue his love of working and spending time with his wife, family and friends in their beautiful backyard. Traveling to ballgames to see his granddaughter, Jennifer, who was the apple of his eye, to play sports and later to enjoy his two great-grandsons which brought many smiles to his face. Duke basketball was a favorite and the games were not to be missed or discussed if they lost.

Additionally, Wilson Christian School was dear to his heart where he served on the board for twenty-four years and valued every student.
