Not sure what to say?

We just found out about Manny's passing last week. We will miss him very much. We had him out for dinner a few months ago and it was very special to see him. He had a special relationship with the Wisakowsky/Timmons family and we will always remember him. My grandmother-Elva Wisakowsky worked with him at the Rose Shop for many years. My sisters and I used to ride the bus home with Elisa and Gabby and he did the flowers for my parents wedding in 1971, my wedding in 2000 and my little...

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Luna family. My father worked with Manny at Joskes...that was when I first met him. No matter where I was living, anytime I needed a floral arrangement, I called him. God truly blessed him with a talent like none other...

Manny was truely a beautiful wonderful person. I will never forget the two weeks we spent in Washington D.C. along with his two nephews. I will miss my long time friend.

My deepest sympathy to the Luna family. Armando was a wonderful, caring person who will be missed by many. Armando introduced me to opera, ballroom dancing and a few other things I would not have had the opportunity to experience. I knew him so many years ago, and yet, I will miss him as if I had spent recent years with him.
I will remember you always, Armando.

Our deepest sympathies to the Luna Family. I worked at Joskes with Manny and helped him out at the Rose Shop and Optimus Club. He was very good to my family and did many things for us. My children called him "Uncle Manny". He was very much loved by my family and we will miss him deeply.

From Eddie and Pat Fahey, two delivery boys at the Rose Shop in the summer of 1972. Manny treated everybody the same, with great kindness and patience. It was a real pleasure to work with him. We are sure that heaven has been arrayed with the most extravagant display of flowers to welcome Manny Luna home.

Sending our prayers and condolence to the Luna family. We just recently saw a picture of Manny and our father (Tom Valdez) at Wolff's. What great memories of all the gang from Wolff's. God Bless The Valdez Family

It was a pleasure for me and my family to have known Manny. He was a wonderful and delightful soul. His creativity and way with people will be sorely misssed by all who knew this true gentleman. Manny and E.B are the last of their kind- true artists.

I worked at Joske's downtown. Manny and all the gang in the display department decorated my office in the basement, WOW, it was the greatest office in the whole store.Plus great memories of watching him make roses, from the red ribbons,and of course the ever great Christmas displays and Fantasy Land. Super gentleman, will be greatly missed.My sympathies to the entire Luna Family.
