Not sure what to say?

Thank you Mr. Zuckerman for giving my daughter her first job while attending Salpoint High. Mr. and Mrs Zuckerman are very kind people. You will be missed Sir.

Happily, I enjoyed witnessing Mel having dinner with an amazing healer, a dear speaker or a messenger of hope in health at his table in Tucson in the 90's. So grateful for Mel & Enid's efforts at making health a priority in American life.

My memory of the Mel Zuckerman came through the University of Arizona Arthritis Center in the '90's. Mr. and Mrs. Zuckerman were the most wonderful people. Generous, thoughtful and inspiring. To give and help people change and improve their lives is a magical gift. They both had it. My condolences to the Zuckerman family at your loss. B. Seashore

Sincere condolences to Enid and the Zuckerman Family. Mel was a generous, caring, special man. He was very good to our city of Tucson. May he rest in Peace. Barbara & Larry Subrin.

Heart felt sadness! His friendship and generosity will always be remembered. Adrienne Ash.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mel Zuckerman. My dad (Larry Ramer) always told me that Mel was his oldest friend-- as they grew up and went to school together back in Hackensack N.J. They remained friends through the decades and I was fortunate to visit Canyon Ranch (in the earlier years..) and got to see both Mel and Enid there a number of times. I have fond memories of them both ( as well as memories of Amy from summer camp when we were kids). My deepest condolences to Enid and all...

I knew Mr. Zuckerman essentially for my entire life. I remember him from his land development days, when I was just a little girl. He always treated me with kindness. He cared about issues. I clearly remember visiting with him and Enid on the day of the Sandy Hook shooting; he cried openly for the loss of innocents. He was a person who changed the face of his field of industry, but more so was serious about leaving a legacy that made the world a better place. He actually cared about the big...

Dear Enid and family, I will always remember the love and kindness Mel showed to me and my beloved Abe. Abe died 6 years ago at 90+ and I still miss him every day. We both loved CR in Lenox and have many fond memories of the Ranch and both of you! My guess is they have met upstairs and are already working out together. Much love, Miriam
