Fort Bend Herald, December 4, 2022: Melvin George Baca was born June 8, 1931 to Charles and Mary (Chudej) Baca in Schulenburg, Texas. Melvin is preceded in death by his loving wife, Dorothy Jane Piwetz, and his youngest son, Robert Allan. Melvin is survived by his children, Gloria and her husband, Mike Leveridge; George; Ed and his wife, Valerie; Diana Brast; Linda and her husband, Kevin, Rosenberg; and Martina Baca.

Melvin and Dorothy met at a CYO softball game while Dad lived in Wharton and Mom lived in Rosenberg. Dad enlisted in the Army in 1953 and served in Korea in the Signal Corp. They married at Holy Rosary Catholic Church on April 24th, 1956 and the reception was held in East Bernard at Riverside Hall. Dad and Mom loved to dance to polka music and many times they would go with several aunts and uncles to club dances in Wallis. Melvin was the youngest of seven children who have all preceded him in death. He loved his family, country, and God. He always helped those who asked, set an example for all of us to live by, and was a true disciple of Christ.
