We can all celebrate Dr. Becker's great life of service to others. He was a wonderful surgeon. Following his move to Orlando he voluntarily treated hundreds of patients with severe pain and infection. His work at the Health Care Center for the Homeless was characterized by supurb skill and great care. He had a special empathy for the most vulnerable members of our community. We all will miss him very much. Mike Allen, DDS,MPH Dental Director Health Care Center for the Homeless

So sorry to hear of Dr. Becker's passing. He was a remarkable individual and wonderful oral surgeon.

Both my dad and I were patients of Dr. Becker when he was working in Miami. I remember going to him to have my bottom wisdom teeth that were impacted, removed. He and his staff helped reduce my fear and took great care of me. My condolences to his family. A nice man.

Dear Family,
We at AP Maintenance Landscape wish to express our condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Becker. Our prayers are for his family during this time of sadness.

I was very sorry to learn of Mel Becker's passing. He will be missed.

Dear Family,
Dr. Becker was a great man. He freely gave his time and expertise to the homeless in Orange County by volunteering to work in our Dental Clinic. We have missed him since he "retired" from working with us but he still supported us in other ways. We are all saddened by his passing. We feel lucky to have known him and he will always be remembered by the many lives he touched.

Mel Becker and my father Otis were neighbors, golf buddies and friends . My father,now deceased, cared greatly for Mel. I enjoyed several golf outings through the years with Mel and my Dad at the W.P. Golf Club and Mel's shared stories of old Florida and his family's history here were always welcomed by me. He was a warm and caring personality and I am glad I knew him. My condolenences to his family and friends.

Gene, Judy and Daniel,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Mel was such a wonderful friend to me and my family every since childhood. He was a life long friend of my Mom and Dad (Miriam and George) and I was fortunate to maintain that friendship after their passing. There are so many terrific memories I have of Mel and your family. Most of all, I cherish his friendship and genuine concern for me and his advice and motivation over the years. I will think of him often and miss...
