My condolences to the family.

Dr. Menzer was my pediatrician for many years in West Hartford from the early 70's when I was like 2 years old until just before I graduated high school.

I recall laughing hysterically when he would tap my knee with the reflex hammer because the reflex made me practically kick outward so hard.

It's been many years but I think about him a lot especially when driving by the old office on Farmington Ave in West Hartford (those twin blue-ish/gray buildings).

He was the best!
