Melvin Carl White, 82, of Mt. Washington, passed away on Wednesday, May 16, 2018 at his home. After finishing school in West Virginia, Mel enlisted in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict, and served in the Vietnam War. He was a Flight Engineer, flying on the C-47, C-54, the C-118, and C-123 aircraft. He was most proud of his service in Vietnam while assigned to the 310th Air Commando Squadron with the Special Forces. After returning to the States, he was awarded one of the highest military medals, the Distinguished Flying Cross. Mel retired after 20 years of honorable service in the United States Air Force. He loved to hunt and fish, and did so from young on. The deer heads are hanging in the house and garage, and the boat is in the garage. He enjoyed playing cards whenever the opportunity presented itself, and in later years with the family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Bessie Mae (Sypolt) White; his sisters, Hazel and Virginia; and brothers, Loren, Charles Jr., Donald and James. Mel is survived by two daughters, Sandra West (Larry) and Melissa Mitchell (Kebo); one grandchild; three great grandchildren; along with many nieces, nephews, and friends. Melvin and his wife, Nancie, of 58 years, passed 36 hours apart. They have a wonderful ending to their love story; they did everything together in life, so why should their final journey on Earth be any different. Joint graveside services will be 11 a.m. Thursday, May 24, 2018 at St. Francis Xavier Cemetery, Mt. Washington, KY. Memorial gifts are suggested to the St. Vincent De Paul Society.
