Preceded in death by a brother, Alonso Cálix Meléndez. He earned a Ph.D. in pharmacy in El Salvador. Born in Honduras, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1961 and was joined by his bride and four children in May 1963. His family eventually grew to five children. He worked hard to open his own business: Cal-Chem. An especially good dancer, he had a ready smile and an uncanny knack for story-telling. Affectionately known as the "Candy Man," in his later years, his jovial spirit and relentless generosity preceded him everywhere he went. The grandkids, like most of us, called him "Amigo."
