DR. JOSE ALBERTO MENOYO

JOSE MENOYO Obituary

MENOYO, Dr. Jose Alberto Passed away suddenly on January 2, 2023. Though he slipped away from this earth quickly and quietly, his passionate, bold, and loving spirit remains with us. Jose, a native of Puerto Rico, completed his internal medicine residency and nephrology fellowship at Hahnemann University and Medical College of Pennsylvania. During medical training, he met his lifelong partner and husband, Dr. Eric Goldberg. After briefly working in clinical nephrology, Jose went on to exercise his ingenuity and clinical expertise in the pharmaceutical industry. He had over 25 years of experience in medicine affairs, drug development, and regulatory leadership across large and small publicly traded biopharmaceutical companies. He was most recently the Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Shield Therapeutics PLC. Whether at the boardroom table or a dinner table with good friends and family, Jose was a beloved and valued presence, always engaging and energizing. Jose (aka Papi, Jefe, Tio) filled the room with his deep voice and desire to connect with those around him. Jose was the devoted husband, partner, and best friend of 30 years to Dr. Eric Goldberg. Together they built a beautiful life, the center of which is their miracle daughter, Alexa Paris Menoyo. Becoming a parent was Jose's lifelong dream. He was Alexa's staunchest supporter, biggest cheerleader, and greatest protector. Jose put Eric and Alexa above all else, and every decision he made put them first. Jose, Eric, and Alexa had just returned from a magical trip to Puerto Rico to visit his beloved family. He leaves behind his mother, Belen; stepfather, Tonio; sister, Priscilla; niece, Priscilla; and nephew, Hector. Jose cherished and adored what he called his chosen family and took Eric's family as his own. He leaves behind his mother-in-law, Leslie Goldberg; brothers and sisters-in-law, Neil and Tracy Goldberg and Evan Goldberg and Torre Morgan; niece, Talia; and nephews, Ryan, Cameron, and Benjamin. Jose loved travel, fitness, and fashion. He most cherished their annual winter getaways to St. Barts with devoted and long-time best friends, Ralph Scala and Craig Hazenfield. Jose was always the best-dressed person in the room. He was an incredible dancer, party starter, and conversationalist. He embraced all that life had to offer and took full advantage of new experiences and opportunities. A Private Service is planned. Should you wish, donations can be made to PRxPR, an organization committed to helping communities in Puerto Rico, or to the charity of your choice. Henry J. Burke & Sons BurkeFamilyFuneralHomes.com

My condolences to the family. i have such fond memories of the Genzyme Family, especially Jose. Our wonderful meetings in Miami and of course Budapest, where, for a brief moment we all actually saw a Superman S under his button down shirt and loosened tie. Jose was a real life Superman and everyone knew it.

Dear Eric and Alexa
There are no words to describe how very sorry we are for the heartbreak you are feeling. It´s been many years, yet I feel like it´s yesterday that we were all dancing at Fred Gordon´s son´s bar mitzvah with Jose, leading the crowd! I also vividly remember sitting with you both talking about how excited you were to be expecting Alexa and then a year later talking about how excited we were to be expecting Sophia. Although time and miles have passed, please know that we are heartbroken for you both and you and your families will remain in our prayers. We are so very, very sorry. With much love.
Liz, Jim and Sophia.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Jose. I met Jose at the beginning of my career and had developed a friendship with him over the years- always kind, helpful, collegial and probably the best dressed professional I have seen. He spoke of his daughter so lovingly and his husband. Big loss as a friend as an industry maven.
