Obituary of William Melino

In Loving Memory of William Melino

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of William Melino, who left us on October 5, 2025, at the age of 77.

William was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose warmth, kindness, and zest for life touched everyone around him. He loved to bask in the sun, finding joy in the simple pleasure of life. A passionate family man, William poured his heart into his loved ones.  He had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh.  His unwavering love for his family will be forever cherished.

He was predeceased by his father Albert Melino and his mother Mary Mortellaro.  He is survived by his beloved wife, Milena, and his two sons, Bryan (Lisa) Melino and Gregory (Amber) Melino, stepchildren Laura (Mike) Vinci, Elizabeth (Mark) Broussard, Lisa (James) Muratt, Matthew (Elizabeth) Ambrose.  He also leaves behind his sister, Rosemary (David) Arena, and his cherished grandchildren, Ashley (Tyler) Barnhart, Matthew Melino, Gianna Melino, Nicholas Melino, and Ethan Melino.

William is also survived by many step-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins who will miss him dearly.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Tunnel to Towers Foundation in William’s memory.

May William rest in eternal peace, and may his legacy of love, family, and sunshine continue to inspire us all.

Friends may call Monday, October 13, 2025 4 - 7 pm at Paul W. Harris Funeral Home where a brief service will immediately follow at 7:00 pm. Burial will be a later date to be determined by the family.
