Manny grew up with a large loving family always around, it shaped the man he became. Manny will be remembered for his quick wit, endless supply of “words of wisdom,” infectious smile, gift of storytelling and his generous heart. If you asked a hundred people about Manny, they would all have a great story to tell. He was a coach, a mentor, a storyteller, and a super-hero. He was a “big brother,” a “best friend,” and a “Pa Pou.” Anyone who stepped foot in the house was “family” to Manny and he would do anything for any of us. His purpose in life was making memories with his family and friends. He was a wonderful person with a heart of gold. He was our hero and he will be greatly missed. As a result of the current Covid-19 situation, we are planning a Celebration of Manny’s life during the Summer of 2021. Manny was steadfast in his belief that no one should be put in harm’s way to come to a service on his behalf. We will announce the exact date at a later time.
