Richard Menin Obituary
Richard, May 11, 2023, of Meadowbrook, PA. Beloved husband of Barbara (nee Lance); loving father of Michael “Scott” (Rachel) Menin; cherished brother of Kathy (Saul) Axelrod.
Dr. Menin was a gastroenterologist, having graduated with honors from Temple Medical School in 1971. He served in the United States Air Force with the rank of Captain.
After his discharge from the service, he went into private practice and became a member of the medical staff at Einstein Medical Center. He remained at Einstein for 40 years until his retirement in 2018.
Dr. Menin was revered by the medical staff for his knowledge, proficiency, and calm demeanor. He was loved by his patients for his attentiveness and gentle bedside manner.
Dr. Menin was an accomplished artist and woodworker.
He passed with his wife, Barbara, and family members at his side in the same manner that he lived his life: with calmness and dignity.
Family and friends are invited to services, Monday, 10:00 AM at Germantown Jewish Centre, 400 W. Ellet St., Phila., PA. Interment at West Laurel Hill Cemetery. Shiva will be held at the late residence Monday through Thursday. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Richard’s memory may be made to the Germantown Jewish Centre Men’s Club (germantownjewishcentre.org), the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (lls.org), or a charity of the donor’s choice.

I was a patient of Dr. Menin for over 30 years. I met him when I was 18 and in college. I was diagnosed with UC and he was part of my journey every step of the way up until he announced he was retiring. I owe my GI health and probably my life to him. As a patient, I considered him a friend, and I will forever be grateful to him.

My heart goes out to all of Dick's family and the rest of his many colleagues and friends. He was my first best friend - we met when we were very young as our parents were close friends. I was so lucky to have him in my life for my early years. We reconnected through a group of friends who grew up together which includes his sister Kathy. He was a big part of my childhood. I know his memory will be for a blessing, and he will remain a part of my heart forever. May he rest in eternal peace.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dick and Daisy almost everyday for the past 12 years.
He would brighten up everyday I saw him. He was so genuine in every way.
We will all miss such a great and humble man.
