Aunt Pat, Andrea and Michael - I am very sorry to hear about Uncle Manny. Being the "surprise" package as a cousin I never had the time to spend with all of you as my siblings did, however, I do remember the times we did spend together well. As a matter of fact, i still have a picture somewhere of Andrea, Michael and myself in front of my house all wearing Budweiser shirts we just bouth at the flea market. I couldn't have been more than 10. Again I am sorry for your loss.

Aunt Pat, Andrea and Michael, I will always remember Uncle Manny because he was the fun Uncle! I am going to date myself , but the first time I rode in a convertible; please correct me - I think it was a green triumph and we know who was the driver and owner of that sport car!!!!. It was a thrill going up and down hills-with the roof down! A sport called a Rally??? I know my Father and Uncle Manny are buddies in heaven-reminiscing about the St. John's "Redmen" and many holidays spent together with the “Salinger Gals” …and all of the cousins having fun ? There are many happy memories with your family and we must get together and continue this cycle, so our children will know their extended family.

My love and sympathy to the Munoz family-Noreen

PAT: I was saddened to read of Manny's passing. In my view, he was one of the all time nice guys, one of the finest people I've ever known. He and I worked together on a number of community organizations in Portsmouth and he was always the most reliable guy we had. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

As a young business manager at WVEC, I needed lots of help. Manny was always ready to share his vast expertise with me even though we were comptetitors in the market during the haydays of TV. I always appreciated his quiet demeanor and great sense of humor. He will always be in my thoughts as a friend.
Thank-you Manny.
