I was a in Mel's Band and Orchestra at Fremont J.H. , Mel turned me into an outstanding percussionist. He got me in to the Monterey County Synphony orchestra at age 16. I joined the Marines and became a percussionist,I played the Mardi Gras and the Rose Bowl Parade
I kept in touch with Mel for over fifty years and called him before his death and we had a wonderful talk.
I loved Mel for his mentorship and friendship over the years
I know that God has Mel leading the heavenly jazz band.
I'LL MISS YOU MEL !

Thank you Tony and Pat. So sweet. I didn't know about the tuxedo! He was a really great guy. He always spoke so highly of you and loved playing with you. We have his memorial planned for December 27th, and his "official" obituary should be out soon with all the information. Thank you for the wonderful memories. Celia Buffo-Junsay

I just heard about Mr. Buffo's passing. He was a favorite teacher of mine, and I have many good memories of playing in the band at Fremont Junior High. I'm glad that I was able to tell him how much I enjoyed those years. My condolences to his entire family.

Mel was my music teacher in 1946-47. He was my friend ever since. He taught me much more than music, he taught me what it was to be a good man. Because of Mel I got into the Monterey County Symphony at 17 and he hooked me up with professional musicians so I could play gigs. Mel even gave me his old tuxedo so I would look like a professional musician. He was tough, but fair. It ended up that Mel and I played many gigs together over the past 60 years and managed the Del Monte Express Band together. I sure will miss him. Tony (and Pat) Venza

Mel and Dorothy were both members of our Senior Singers Choir in Salinas for many years. We have missed them since they decided that they couldn't participate any longer.
Mel was great about helping me out with songs that needed a little fixing or rearranging.
He also played his Soprano Sax for us in a couple of songs that we sang.
He always came up after rehearsal and would say "Great gig, gal".
I had just spoken to him on the phone in early June.
He will certainly be missed by all who knew him.
You kids have every right to be proud of both your Mom and Dad.They were wonderful people. We loved them too.
Joyce Solazzi, director of the Senior Singers Choir

Mel was a wonderful neighbor and will be greatly missed. We were so sad to hear about him passing. He loved talking to Kevin and I about teaching at the college and was very fond of talking with us about his time teaching music. Both Dorothy and Mel were so kind to our kids. We feel very lucky to have had such caring and thoughtful neighbors. We are sending many heartfelt wishes to his family. We know he will be missed.
Sincerely, Kim, Kevin, Alex and Sophia
