Edward Meltzer Obituary
Eddie grew up in Beverly Hills, attended Beverly Hills High School, and graduated from UCLA, where he proudly joined Zeta Beta Tau. He started his career working with his father at LA Period Furniture and eventually opened Gemini Carpets. During that time, he served as president of the Carpet Manufacturers Association of the West. Later on, he started Elanday Equities, where he continued his dealmaking adventures. He proudly served on the boards of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the Brandeis-Bardin Institute/AJU.
Babyface/Buddha/CBBB loved gin rummy, and had a great group of friends who met every week to play. He also played tennis, and had a great slice.
A service was held on Tuesday, December 26th. The family asks that donations be made in his memory to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
He will be missed.

I am saddened to learn of Ed’s transition this morning. I first met Ed several decades ago through my father J. Wendell Addy from Liberia. Over the years I would get to know Ed, a loving, warm, supportive and wise business mind I often could bounce ideas off during my years at UCLA. My family and I remain grateful for the friendship.
Our deepest condolences to Sue and the rest of the family. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Ed has earned his wings and I am sure is having a lengthy business discussion surrounded by love ones.
Thank you Ed for the memories. From all of us, Wendell, Elma, Jaye, Jewel, Jayme and Axel. We are forever grateful.
