Found Jim on e-mail. Always wondered if he got into medicine and what happened to him. I went into the RCAF and later becamse an engineer at Queen's. Became a Trade Commissioner and served abroad, mainly in Washington. He was a good guy!! Looks as if he had a great career, as I have had. - Posted by: Henry C.

I was saddened when I read of Dr. Jim's passing. He was my Dr. for many years and got me through many rough patches with alot of caring, and his own special brand of humour. He was one of the "last, great institutions" of Morden, and he will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to his family at this sad time. - Posted by: Kim Buhse (McCaul) (Former Patient) on: Jan 04, 2013

Wishing the family peace and tranquility. Dr. Menzies was part of my childhood memories; his son Bruce Menzies was also part of the cohort of students, graduating with me, at Morden Collegiate High School. There are persons one always remembers, be it in a professional capacity or one of many persons intersecting life's sojourn; Dr. Menzies was part of those memories. My Dad, who celebrated 100 years of life, and now has passed on just over one year ago, knew him well and had many great stories (Dad was the school janitor and I believe Dr. Menzies was part of the School Board that my father interfaced with, at some point in his long career as a school janitor). Best wishes to the family. - Posted by: Irene Smolik PhD (nee Irene Ann Dyck) (Former Patient and resident of Morden) on: Jan 03, 2013
