My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I am sorry to have never met Mel but he certainly lived a full and honorable life.
My grandparents, Celia Goldstein and Maurice Eisenberg, were the first couple Mel's father, Rabbi Benjamin Daskal, married after his arrival at Rodfei Zedek. The date was 9/9/19 and their Ketuba is pictured in the book "Rodfei Zedek - The First Hundred Years".

He was loved by many in the ERA and will always be remembered as a kindhearted human being with a great sense of humor.
