Title: Mel Gates
Post by: lilnukee on Oct 05, 2006, 03:09

My uncle, Mel Gates, passed away last Wednesday evening after a fight with cancer. He worked in the nuclear industry in the late '80s and early '90s as a decon tech and then a Jr HP tech. He was a great man with an undying positive attitude and terrific sense of humor. He will be greatly missed.
If there is anyone out there that remembers him and would like more information, you can contact me at lilnukee@hotmail.com.
Thank you,
Dina

I worked with Mel on my first decon job back in '87.  He was a great guy who worked his ass off.  RIP old friend.
