I found out an old friend passed away on the 29th. John Menzo was someone I met back in my University Days and was a longtime life partner to a good friend of mine for 13 years. My heart felt sympathies go out to his friends and loved ones.

Menzo, John. John passed away peacefully on August 29, 2010 at Hospice Wellington, Guelph, surrounded by many of his loved ones and in Mauricio’s, his partner’s, arms. Born in Amsterdam in 1950, John lived at his family’s Arkell Road property since 1960. John lived a full, dynamic life, travelling the world and teaching in many places including Malawi, Inuvik, China, and Kuala Lumpur.

So many will miss him greatly: his dear partner Mauricio (Ramon) Perez De la Paz, his brother Bill Menzo and wife Diane, nieces Christie and Lauren, all of the Perez De la Paz family, John’s family in Holland, Birgit, Torben and Tove Hansen, Aline Cool, the Bard family as well as new found friends in his second home in Uruguay.
