John T. Menzies III (1944-2013)
Founding President
John T. 鈥淛ock鈥 Menzies III passed away August 17, 2013 following injuries sustained in an accident at his home in Arnold, MD. Jock is remembered as a deep thinker, a problem solver, a diplomat, a gentleman, and a kind and loving father and husband. Born in Baltimore, MD to John T. Menzies Jr. and Priscilla Fuller Menzies, Jock attended Fox Lane High School in Mount Kisco, N.Y , and was a graduate of Trinity Pawling School in Pawling, N.Y. and St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. Following college he began his career at The Terminal Corporation, a warehousing and marine terminal operation which had been purchased by his father and uncle in 1965. In 1981, Jock and his brother Scott purchased the company and Jock served as chairman. Jock was deeply involved in logistics and transportation activities and advocacy, having held directorships with numerous associations. In 2009, the University of Maryland鈥檚 Supply Chain Management Society selected Jock as Person of the Year, and DC Velocity Magazine recognized him as a 鈥淩ainmaker鈥 in the industry.

As chair of the Central Maryland Red Cross in 2003, Jock helped engage supply chain companies to assist in recovery efforts after Hurricane Isabel.
