Obituary For Melvin Braga
Melvin Braga passed away on April 19, 2012 at the age of 81. He was a loving husband to Delinda Braga for 56 years. Beloved father to David Braga (Marcelle) of Irvine, Larry Braga (Allisun) of San Diego and Diane Braga (Steve Cameron) of Danville. A proud grandfather to Danielle and Lauren and caring brother-in-law to Maria Resendes (Manuel) of Manteca. He's also survived by many nieces and nephews.
A long time resident of Fremont since 1947. As a young man, Melvin worked in his parent's business of fresh and dried apricots. He loved tending to his large garden of flowers, vegetables and fruit trees and would happily provide his crops to family, friends and neighbors. Melvin and his wife Delinda were fond of international travel and logged more than 19 luxury cruises. Melvin was proud of his Portuguese heritage and was an active member in the Portuguese communities of the Bay Area. This proud father and loving husband will be missed by many.

Dear Mayor Smith, On behalf of the entire Braga family, thank you for your kind words. My father worked at the Visqueen plant a long time and saw many people come and go, but he spoke so very highly of you for many, many years. I hope this email gets to you so that you know how much we appreciate hearing from you. I will pass on this note to my mother. She is doing pretty well. Best regards, Larry J. Braga P.S. You can reach me or our family at lbraga@nanospacers.com

To Delinda and Family, I wish that I could have attended the service for Melvin but I was out of town. I worked with him for many years (1968 to 1979) at Ethyl VisQueen. Regrettably, I lost track of Mel after my career switched gears, but I have wonderful memories of him as a very hard worker, a team player, and a wonderful person. He also taught me things that helped me become a better manager. My thoughts and prayers go out to you in sympathy today. I am so sorry for your loss. Dave Smith
