Brisbane Times has lost one of its most prolific contributors with the passing of 90-year-old 'Bob Menzies'.

The long time Liberal Party member adopted the nom de plume of the party's founding father in order to comment on the site and quickly developed a reputation as one of its most respected contributors.

In reality, the nonagenarian was a lifelong Queensland public servant who survived the Great Depression, served his country during World War II and raised three children with his wife, who died in 2000.

'Mr Menzies' was only introduced to computers in the last year of his life but took to them like a duck to water, according to his children.
