Joseph N. Melton

CORRECTION TO "MY HERITAGE SMART MATCH" tied to Geni.

My father, Joseph N. Meton, born Meltzer, was Jewish from Orthodox parents, and celebrated Jewish holidays until his death.

("MyHeritage", a Geni associated site WRONGLY lists my father as being of another religion, and that is false, a lie. My father never went to a church!)

My father took pride in sharing Chanukah rituals and song with his retirement Sarasota community. He had me send lots of Jewish info and Jewish music tapes and stories to him to share. My dad's then NON Jewish 2nd wife (after his wife Libby, z"l, died) had animosity toward my father's faith and would NOT allow me to say Kaddish or Psalms at my dad's funeral but I DID. My dad asked me to make sure his funeral was Jewish. My family was with me at my father's funeral.

I HOPE SOMEONE CORRECTS THE MISERABLE MISTAKE IN "MY HERITAGE". According to "MyHeritage", text says my father had traveled extensively -which is FALSE. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

ALSO Joseph, z"l, loved his granddaughter, Aviva, and enjoyed taking her out on his boat, moored in his back yard on a Sarasota, Fla. canal. I, daughter Joy M. Krauthammer have added ALL the personal information about Joseph and our family to Geni.
