In Memoriam: Mel Leitman

The team at MtlRestoRap is in mourning following the sudden passing of our sales coordinator Mel Leitman, on Monday, March 22, 2021. 

Mel joined MtlRestoRap in the fall of 2019. He was a perfect fit given his endless array of contacts in the restaurant industry. He was the beloved soulmate of Connie Dorfman; cherished father of Allison Dorfman (Rob), Heidi Dorfman (Jason), Rob Leitman (Harriet), Jeff Leitman (Mia), Tracy Leitman (Craig); treasured Zaidie of Alexa and Chloe Hamou; Brooklyn and Jax Toledano; Jenny and Madelaine Leitman; Elizabeth Leitman; Hudson, Cooper and Delaney Coulls; devoted Brother of Jack (Lily), Larry (Marie) and Patti Leitman; and brother-in-law of Marilyn and the late Perry Silverman; son of the late Ruth and the late Al Leitman and son-in-law of the late Ben and the late Sylvia Silverstein. 

Mel had the greatest zest for life and an incredible sense of humor. He lived his life with positivity, optimism, a thirst for knowledge and always showed the greatest joy and pride in his family. He was truly our greatest cheerleader. He will be terribly missed by his many close friends and family members whose lives he touched.  

Donations in Mel’s memory may be made to Chabad VSL and Bois-Franc at (514) 747-1199.
