Health issues forced him into semi-retirement in 1991. He moved to St. Nazianz and lived in the rectory of St. Gregory's Parish and taught classes in the grade school. He died on March 15, 1996,and was buried in the community cemetery on Loretto Hill.
Throughout his years in religious life, Fr. Melvin deeply loved working in education. His students regarded him as an excellent math and science teacher. He was able to apply intellectual knowledge to very practical situations. While teaching in St. Nazianz, he and his students constructed a house that was energy efficient and completely self-reliant in generating its own electricity. For him, the Gospel was a call to live in harmony with all of God's creation and to treat everyone and everything with gentleness and respect.
