Wasserman Schultz Statement on Passing of Monroe Udell
06/02/14 Weston, Fla. – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today after Monroe Udell, the founder of Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlour, passed away Sunday. He was 86:
“It is with a heavy heart that I join South Floridians in mourning the passing of Monroe Udell, the founder of Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlour in Dania Beach.
“Monroe turned Jaxson’s into a nationally recognized institution for their ice cream and food, and was recently cited by President Obama for their commitment to their employees. Monroe became an icon in our community for Jaxson's ice cream and for his charitable work with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.
“My mind is full of memories as I recall my own 25 years of coming to Jaxson’s for everything from official meetings to little league celebrations to kids’ birthday parties. In fact, just in April I was there for lunch with my kids and when Linda told me Monroe was on the phone, I was overjoyed to get to speak to him. His voice reflected the wonderful man he was and the way he made his customers feel -- welcome, happy and valued.
“Monroe is no longer with us, but Jaxson’s is his legacy and will now serve as a tribute to him and the indelible mark he left on our community, while also serving as a model small business that contributes to the vibrancy that makes South Florida such a great place to live, work and visit.
