John MANZIG Obituary

JOHN G.W. (TED) MANZIG LL.B., LL.M. (Dalhousie), Lic.iur., Dr.iur. (Cologne) November 28, 2020 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on November 28, 2020 of Ted Manzig (age 92), beloved husband, father, professor and friend. He is survived by Sandra, his wife of 65 years, son Walter (Debbie), daughters Loraine (Kevin) and Gloria (Grant), as well as grandchildren Isaac, Gabriel, Cameron, Katrina, Erik and Evan. He will also be missed by his sister, Ingrid, niece Tyana (Keith) and Katya (Tampa, FL). A consummate gentleman, his sense of fairness and love of the Law earned him the respect of students and colleagues at the University of Windsor Law School, where he taught from 1970 to 1994. Passionate about environmental protection, Ted served for a number of years as director of the Canadian Institute of Law and Policy and as a member of the Environmental Law Specialty Committee, Certification Program of the Law Society of Upper Canada. The care provided by the staff of the Windsor Regional Hospital (Ouellette) during Ted's brief illness was extraordinary. In particular, we would like to thank Dr.W. Liang, Dr.Yap, Lynda Trong, as well as the dedicated staff of 8 East and West. We also appreciated the kindness and patience of the COVID screeners as they performed their difficult and vital jobs. Due to the current situation, a celebration of Ted's life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a memorial contribution to the Professor Manzig Memorial Scholarship. Donations can be made by contacting Karen Momotiuk Chapman at [email protected] at the Faculty of Law at the University of Windsor. You can also make a gift at www.uwindsor.ca/donate and specify the Professor Manzig Memorial Scholarship.

Professor Manzig was my contracts professor in first year and he shared both my first year experience and how I approach things as a working adult. I loved contracts because of his singularly excellent teaching style, a deeply honed capacity which I intuitively trusted. My study partner and I would frequently visit and sit in his office to talk about the nuances of the law because of our respect for him, and I suspect he enjoyed our passion to dig deeper given his own passion for the law. I'm very saddened to read of his passing, as he's always represented for me excellence in legal study, receptivity to his students and the importance of always reviewing to stay current and sharp. Even all these decades later, I had never stopped writing myself notes with his name and lessons to keep me on the path of excellence. Best wishes to the family during this time of transition. I hope to have some contact with them to express my sentiments personally.
