Written by on June 4, 2021

Bob Menz thought it was just a regular Thursday night lacrosse game until he was greeted by fellow members of the Genesee Valley Lacrosse Officials Association.

Rochester First reported:

“Menz was going to be inducted into the Greater Rochester Chapter of the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame. The referee of over 40 years, who is also battling Stage 4 prostate cancer, was floored that all of his friends and colleagues came out for the surprise.”

Bob Menz stated:

“I didn’t know I was being inducted. I was quite verklempt, to say the least. It’s quite moving to have everyone here considering they have families, they have wives, here it is a Thursday night they’ve got to go to work in the morning. I’m just speechless at how great the men are and how giving they are to me.”
