Solomon D. Menashe

Sol left footprints of love and kindness everywhere he went.

Though my heart is incredibly sad for such a huge loss to so many ... especially his cherished family ... the wonderful memories will thankfully live on forever. Working for Sol was profoundly pivotal to not only my professional life but my personal life as well. I am a better person because of him and will miss him more than words can express.

Sol was a true gentleman. But what I want to say is that he had the great respect of everyone in the health care field: doctors, administrators, and everyone who had dealings with him. Our community was so very fortunate to have him.

In the early 2000s I had the pleasure of working with Sol over the course of several years to help plan the annual Menashe Lecture that Regence BCBS had created in his honor. Even through Sol was retired, he still came to the office once a week, and we would occasionally go to lunch. Sol was a gracious man who always had time for others. Todays world needs more people like him he will be missed.

I had the distinct honor of working for Mr. Menashe at BCBSO; so respected and with great reason. Rest In Peace

I started working at OPS Blue Shield in 1978 when Sol was the President of the company. He was a great leader. So glad that I got to see him at the last Retiree Luncheon. My deepest sympathy to all the family. Rest in Peace.

Sol was such a kind and wonderful man. Our birthdays were a few days apart so he would always come into the office and take me to lunch to celebrate. I missed not seeing him when I left Blue Cross but he will always be in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with Ros and his beautiful family he loved so much.

Dear Menashe Family, Solomon is a man to model, he had it all and made the world a better place for so many - an exemplary life. I know that the loss is profound and Im sorry you have to bear it. Sending condolences, love and respect.
