    My condolences to the family. Big Melvin never once closed the door on me as a child. Not 1 time. It didn't matter if everyone else had to go, he'd let me stay. That always meant a lot to me. You will truly be missed.

    Mr. Walker will truly be missed. One thing about him is he loved his grandkids. I will always love him for being there for my son Dewon who he called Peanut, from day one he was there for my child, whenever I needed him he was there no matter what.
