Mel S. Salz

\"With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of Mel Salz, a dedicated husband, father, and friend. Mel passed away on February 6th, 2024, knowing that he was deeply loved by his family and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, Gilbert and Lillian, and his wife of forty-three years, Mimi Salz. Mel was born in Pennsylvania, and moved to Pasadena, California prior to his school years. He later relocated to Claremont, California, merging the Salz and Singer families. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army, stationed in Korea, and continued his commitment to serve and contribute to his community. He most recently volunteered with the LaVerne Police Department in the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP). Mel\'s selflessness and dedication left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. Whether representing his business or living as a member of his community, he built and maintained long lasting relationships with everyone he met. He will be deeply missed and forever cherished in our hearts. Mel is survived by his children; Ron, Cindy, Stephanie, Linda, Jeff, Jim, and Shellie; his brother, Joel, and his fiancé Carolyn. He will also be remembered fondly by his eleven grandchildren and one great-grandson. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation to honor Mel\'s memory and support those affected by this debilitating disease. Your generosity during this difficult time is deeply appreciated.\"
