To Eileen and family, Saddened to hear of Mel''s (zl) passing. Although we haven''t seen you and your family in a while, I have wonderful memories of our family gatherings from times past.

Dear Eileen, It saddens me to hear about the loss of Mel. Growing up knowing Mel as not only the dentist but the golfer. He definitely made the time I spent learning to golf with dad a lot more fun. And I know dad loved him so much. Thinking of you and sending our love.
Andrea Rifkin January 22, 2026 06:54 AM
Dear family, I was 15 when the Cantar family moved from Hamilton to Burlington, and one of the best things about that move was having our dental care under Dr. Mel. I continued personally with Dr. Mel until his retirement, another 40+ years later, never bothered about the long drive in for most of those years, considering we were both driving in from either Toronto or Thornhill! I knew all of the Cohen meshpucha through his proud tales of each of you told at every appointment. I am not sure if a husband could have ever been more in love with his wife, nor a father could be more in love with his children and grandchildren. I knew where the ease of his delight in speaking of his family came from; his mother''s broad smile, beaming each time I came into the bakery, telecasting to any other bakery patron that I could be grateful to her son-the-dentist for mine! May you all know the comfort of treasured memories, and may Mel''s name be forever a blessing.
Jeff and Randi Handler January 22, 2026 12:16 AM

Marvin & Judy Demone January 20, 2026 11:14 PM
Dear Eileen and Family: We were devastated to hear about Mel’s recent passing. We know it has been a very difficult two years since he began having medical problems and fought so valiantly. He was such a dignified, generous, sensitive and caring person, who, as they said today at the funeral, only spoke when he had something to say. When he did, it was meaningful, helpful and respected. He also had a wry sense of humour which was always appreciated as was his friendly and affable demeanor. His athletic ability was beyond incredible as was constantly witnessed over the last 15 plus years when he played in the JNF Golf Tournaments with the Boys and due to his personal contributions. Our sincerest condolences to you and each member of your family. Your children and grandchildren spoke very eloquently and with great love and tenderness. Mel would be so proud. May his memories be a blessing. Fondly, Marvin & Judy Demone
