Never knew Melvin. We now live in Elmer's house on the ridge outside Lacon. Condolences from Jim and Linda Feurer. Owners of Animal Jim Racing in Lacon, IL. I knew Don Melvin's brother when I was young and lived in LaSalle Peru, IL. Don then worked for Jimmies Motors. We moved from LP to Lacon in 67. And soon got to know another brother Elmer Klein. We are also friends with the Budds and know Melvin's beautiful sister , Melvin Budd's wife Justine. RIP Melvin---Jim and Linda
