Gilbert, thanks for passing this along. I had not heard this very sad news.
I have been giving a ride to Mel for the last couple of meetings. He did not make last night's meeting because he was planning on going to a Sam Katz Roast.

I just got a call from one of our MUUG members, who passed along some sad news about Mel Seder. (You may remember him as the gentleman who used to come to our meetings wearing a red fedora hat, and who needed to use an oxygen tank to help with his breathing in recent months.)
Mel passed away yesterday. The funeral will be held at 2pm tomorrow (November 11th), at Shaarey Zedek Synagogue, 561 Wellington Cres.
On behalf of the MUUG board, I offer our condolences to Mel's family and friends. We'll miss you, Mel!
