Mel was a good friend to my father, Sam Marcus, from the BMA. Dad spoke highly of him and enjoyed his visits.

Dear Ruth, So sorry to hear about Mel's passing. I thought about the good times we all had--picnics and baseball games on Memorial Day, dinner parties and the political discussions, Mel being an usher at my wedding. All good memories. My thoughts are with you and your wonderful family. Fondly, Kay

Deepest regrets to David and Barbara over your loss. I never realized that the Mel Wof that was so active with alumni stuff was your dad. Stay strong.
