He was 79. Dr. Tanzman, a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, was still carrying on a practice at the time of his death. He and his wife Celia resided at 617 Sand Cover Road, Saint John West. The 1927 graduate of Montreal's McGill University began his practice in Saint John in 1930 in a small office on Main Street. 'It was hard for a young fellow to get started,' Dr. Tanzman once told an interviewer. 'People thought you had to be older and wiser and have a beard before you knew anything about medicine.' He had one patient the first day and his landlady was his only patient the second day. From the beginning he went on to build up a practice that encompassed thousands of patients. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire during the Second World War in recognition of his overseas service. He was commanding officer of the 14th Field Ambulance which saw service in France, Belgium and Holland. Dr. Tanzman was a former president of the Canadian Society for the Study of Fertility, former chairman of the Ethics Committee of the Canadian Medical Association and a member of the Board of Commissioners of the Saint John General Hospital.
