Remembering William Melbourne Walter Howell

With sadness, we advise that Mel passed away peacefully at home in Horseshoe Valley on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 at the age of 76.  Dear husband and best friend of Ruth Ann.  Loving father of Tracie, Lisa, Steven and Angela.  Mel was a man of strong convictions and diverse talents.  Music was his passion, and he touched many lives over the years with his performances and recordings.  Mel was dedicated to environmental, humanitarian and animal rights causes.  He firmly believed that we each have the power and responsibility to change things for the better through our positive thoughts and actions.  Friends are invited to share memories at a Celebration of Life to be held on Saturday, September 12th from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Edgar Village Community Hall in Oro-Medonte.  Cremation has occurred.  Mel's blue eyes would surely twinkle if, in his honour, everyone were to pay it forward by doing something to brighten another's day or to support a charity of their choice.  Donations will be accepted by the Doolittle Chapel of Carson Funeral Homes, 54 Coldwater St. E., Orillia, (705) 326-3595.
