I want to offer my heartfelt condolences to the family of Melvin for their loss. I first met Melvin when I came to work at LeTourneau in 1988. And true to Melvin's character,he made me feel right at home with his crusty laugh and never meet a stranger attitude. I will always cherish his little anecdotes about his adventures. But I guess most of all, his love and compassion for his family was always predominant. In my mind, I will always see Melvin's fast pace sauntering walk and remember his everlasting love of life. I will miss him. May God bless our sweet Melvin and his family.##imported-begin##Bridget Carpenter##imported-end##

Melvin will be missed. I had the opportunity of working with Melvin while at LeTourneau and thoroughly enjoyed his company and friendship. We also had some good games of golf together over the years. Please give my condolences to Jeanette and his family.

Sincerest condolences to Jeanette and family. Melvin was one of a kind.
I am guessing he will be fishing and playing golf with a more angelic group now.
You will be sadly missed by all of us "old man".##imported-begin##Barry & Theresa Morgan##imported-end##
Jeanette, among our nearly 2000 company employees, Melvin Nolen was truly one of my favorites. It was always a pleasure to do business with Melvin. He consistently represented our company in ways that made my role easy for his territory of accountability. I will remember Melvin, always. Melvin was truly a special employee and a special person both important to us. In closing, I want you and your family to be well. Accordingly, I encourage you to relish the many good memories, and to move ahead, one day at a time. Dan C. Eckermann, LeTourneau, Inc., President and CEO, August 5, 2005##imported-begin##Dan C.

All my best to Melvin's family.
He was a gentleman and he will be missed.
I was golfing with Melvin in 1998 in Texas. He was somewhat critical of my golf swing as it was really bad. "Y'all got to quit swinging it like a baseball bat"##imported-begin##Dean Coleman##imported-end##
While working for Wajax, I talked over the phone with Melvin for a number of years before I actually met him in person. Being single and in my early 20's at the time, I could hardly wait to hear his voice again. Then comes the day when Melvin is actually coming for a visit. Here I was expecting a young, tall, good looking Texan, and in walks Melvin now in his 50's. If Melvin was lacking anything in age and size, he definitely made up for it with his heart and personality. My sincere condolences to his wife and children.##imported-begin##Debbie Dionne##imported-end##
