Obituary of John G.W. "Ted" Manzig LL.B., LL.M. (Dalhousie), Lic.iur., Dr.iur. (Cologne)

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.
