Passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side, at the age of 89 years, on Friday, September 16, 2016, at Health Sciences North. Beloved husband of the (late Marion) and Suzanne Anna Thall (Nee Latulippe). Loving father of Eric (Beth), Sonja Warkus (predeceased) (Bruce) and Kathy Burns (Earl). Cherished grandfather of Kaarina Ettles (Graeme), Carl (Tara), Hilary Peden (Sanders), Krista Levesque (Alex), Chase, Jed, Skylar, Zachary and 8 great grandchildren. Predeceased by siblings Eddie, Millie, Alma, Ernest, Hilda, Elmer, Edwin, Arnold, Amanda and survived by Ann, Esther and Clara. He will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews, brothers and sisters- in- law as well as friends and relatives. Melvin enjoyed beef farming, maintained a large garden and had a love for his horses and harness making. He worked at INCO for 35 years with a 100% safety record of which he was very proud; retiring as Yard Boss from Creighton Mine in 1984. In keeping with his wishes there will be no visitation. A Celebration of Life will be held at 539 Black Lake Rd, Lively on Saturday, October 15, 2016 from 1-4 p.m.
So sorry for you loss, Anna, Kathy, Eric and all your families. My heart is with you all. I will always remember his beautiful smile. Sending our hugs & love.

Those of us who were lucky enough to be born into the Thall family have had aunts and uncles who have been excellent role models. Uncle Melvin and his siblings have taught us how to live and how to treat others. Melvin Thall was a special man. He certainly knew how to have fun; I remember how he would gleefully celebrate life with his brothers when he came home to visit. But he was responsible and a practising adult. And he was a loving man – I especially was impressed by the way he showed his love for his mother and his sisters. We’re going to miss you, Uncle Melvin.

I am also smiling thinking of the reunion going on in heaven
right now, with all the Thall boys taking turns telling jokes…
and can picture Auntie Millie slapping her knee in laughter and Auntie
Hilda smiling thru it all!❤️
