MEL WEITZ

will always remmeber Mel he was a nice man

Forever more's a memory...

RIP MEL A true friend.

M Wetzel Mel you were always so nice and i miss our talks. Thank you so much.

I can’t believe next month it will be 6 years since Mr. Weitz had passed on. He was a great boss and humanitarian. I will always remember when I
worked at Foodtown here on Long Island, he always had a pleasant word to say to us, his cashiers. I still get together with some of the cashiers who have since retired and we reminisce about our working days at Foodtown. We all miss him. Rest In Peace Mr. Weitz.

Having long since retired, I'm just now learning of Mel's passing. Representing a Fortune 500 consumer products company some 30-years ago, I would call on Mel's store in Pt Jefferson Station three times a week. I'd see him there, walking the sales floor with his store director and his son, Steve, at least once a week.

As mentioned above, one of Mel's many successful merchandising strategies was the introduction of "bulk" products, a category much more familiar to box store...

God bless you mel. Always a great person. Loved our talks. RIP mel you are missed. Prayers for you and family

I did not know Mr. Weitz personally, but I met him one day back in the 80s at his store in Hewlett. He approached me introduced himself, and asked how I enjoyed shopping at his store. I said I liked the store but was having difficulty finding an item. He led me to the appropriate aisle and helped me find what I was looking for. I remember it as a pleasant experience with a very nice gentleman.

Yes, it has been a few years now since Mr. Wietz had passed away, but all of us that worked for him at his Foodtown Stores will never forget what a kind and caring and humanitarian person he was. He always had a smile for all of us cashiers and for everybody! We all will never forget him. If all other buisnessmen would be like him it would be a better world. May you Rest In Peace.
