Melvin Horwitz

A true gentleman and a scholar.

I am still quoting Mey... when someone asks how I am,I say, " I'm self-propelled and upright" There is none like Mel. Fond memories at Fisher beach Cape Cod, hugs Helen Nix

I knew Mel in several venues. First he was a dear friend. Second he was our director of the Nutmeg Institutional Review Board. Third he was my surgeon for an abdominal infect ion I had. He was a great "party guy" ... wore dredlocks at a dress-up party we had. "Upright and self-propelled" . My loving memories to Dorothy ; But wasn't the world, family and friends so fortunate to have had him in it for so long. hugs dear Mel

Dear Family, Mel was my surgeon, my boss at the Nutmeg Institutional Review Board, our host at Cape cod, but most important, he was my friend. With Dorothy and my husband Harold ,we partied and had such fun with dress-ups, Night of Murder plays, New years, Eve, where we all sang Oh Canada. Such precious memories of great enrichment to my life and my husband's. I am still quoting Mel (with permission) "I'm upright and self-propelled"! What a special person he is to so many. Thank you to...

Dear Dorothy, I hold Mel as one of my dear friends and mentor with the Nutmeg Institutional Review board. He was a true professional. all my love to you both. Helen

Dorothy;

I was away and only recently learned of Mel's passing. I was privileged to have known him as a colleague and humbled to have had him as a patient. I trust he has found peace.

I remember Dorothy and Mel attending any number of Bolton parties at our house or the Graham's back in the day. Those were always times of great laughter and many stories. He will be missed.

Peace, Johanna

Dear Dorothy, four years after moving away from our little corner of Ludlow Road, Beth and I still think about you often and we often tell people about our friendship with the two of you. We mostly tell them about how interesting, witty, warm and accomplished you both were. Mel was a fascinating man and he was always wonderful company. We pray that God will comfort you and your family in your time of loss.
