"Of the 2000 babies he delivered in his career - TWO of those were my twins Alex & Daniella at Aurora. He was a great human being, very caring and funny - we joked around alot during my visits. So so sad. I'm back in Illinois and thought I would catch up --- but too late it seems. Bon Voyage to your next life, my friend."

"Today I hoped to pass on information to a friend who needs surgery (Feb. 2024). Searching for Dr. Menelaou, the wonderful doctor who performed three c-sections for our family, I found he had passed. This is a very late "Thank you." To Dr. Menelaou's family, we appreciate all you did to help your son develop his incredible surgical talent. May Jesus bless you!"
