Charles T. "Chuck" Manatt

Kathy and family. My sorrow at your loss. Chas was always in my thoughts as he moved his world. You remember I was his vice president for Audubon student council and then I moved to CO. He mailed me the SC pin. We always hoped he would become US president. I was in that 17 girls to one guy speech class. Kathy contact me sometime. Connie email [email protected]

Chuck was a magnificent man and wonderful friend. It was an honor to know him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his entire famiy.

Thoughts and prayers are with you all....a voice from the past in LA....you may recall that Michelle took her first steps in our apartment in Pasadena. Chuck (good Republican) died 10 years ago and we would have celebrated our 50th anniversary yesterday. Hugs ~~Joyce Wahlquist-MN~~

Chuck Manatt was my very first contact in starting a bank.... He made" house calls".. with a flight from Los Angeles to the San Diego airport Sheraton Coffee Shop to meet one another and determine if it was a viable project... Chuck of course gave me check (laundry) list and I met him with him in 4 weeks at his office where he introduced me to this new kid on the block: Barney Reitner.. He asked if I could work with him-- I said yes-- and that began a long and rewarding relationship with the...

I met Mr. Manatt over 20 yrs ago, and, despite our political differences, we shared a love of politics, hunting, and our native IOWA. We met several times at the University Club for breakfast, and when he met my dad, who was a Bush administration appointee, he made him feel right at home, talking campaigns, farming, and, of course, IOWA ! What a true gentleman he was, always interested in what was going on in the lives of others, tactful, and a genuinely good, kind man. I stopped in his...

he represents the kind of corporate Democrat we never see in the party anymore, the name partner of a law firm, Manatt Rothenberg, who never lost the common touch, when i saw him in restaurants, affable and charming. He will be missed, best to his family.

Kathy, Michelle and family, I was so very sorry to hear of your loss.

Chuck at times had a challenging personality but i always respected him and appreciated the faith he had in me during our 7 years together at the DNC - there was never a dull moment when he was around! He will be missed by many of our democratic colleagues who worked so closely with him during those exciting times. May your faith sustain you during these difficult times. Deborah Miller

To the the family of Charles Manatt - May God give you peace and comfort through his word and the Lord Jesus Christ during this time of sorrow, I know that he will be missed by many.

So sorry to learn of Chuck's passing. He and I worked together in the JFK campaign, when he and Kathy were fresh out of Iowa (!) and I still have fond memories of that time. I saw him again when he was DNC Chair, and we gleefully shared those memories. How far he traveled. Peace and love to you all.
