Condolence: I am very sorry for your loss. He was an amazing man. I enjoyed spending time with him and his stories. He was very kind to me. I wish you and your family the best. If you ever need anything let me know.
Love, Kim Melton
Condolence: I would like to express my deepest condolences to Randy and the family on the passing of Mr. Melton.
One of the finest men I have ever known, Mr. Melton put me on the air in the spring of 1984 at WCAB. I was the afternoon announcer until I left in September for basic training. I was there when he and Bud Sparks sold the station to Jim Bishop.
So many memories of him have surfaced since I learned of his passing; the smell of his pipe, the way he would put the phone down on the control desk and wander the station when Tom Tisdale was on the Afternoon Report. That is one of my favorite memories of him and always makes me smile.
Condolence: I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Melton, but as a fellow radio veteran I wanted to express my deepest condolences to family and friends. I have great respect for the radio folks who came before me as they taught my generation of radio professionals much and paved the way for us to have successful careers. My prayers for comfort and peace are with you during this time of loss.

Condolence: Randy, You probably don't remember me, but I have a long history with your family. My dad, L. H. Huntley, painted your mom & dad's house on Courtland Street many times & I helped him several times as a teenager. Later, I began my banking career at Northwestern in Forest City where I got to know your mom even better. What a great lady she was! My family thought Charles & "Sug" were some of the finest people on earth. The last time I saw your dad was about 6 years ago and he was still the true "Southern Gentleman" I had known from years before. On behalf of the Huntleys, please accept our sincere sympathy during this time of loss. Doug Huntley
