EMANUEL FTHENAKIS

Dear Hermione, It has been over a year since Manny's passing, but his memory continues as strong as ever. He will always be one of my special friends and I always enjoy talking to people about my time at Fairchild and my special friendship with Manny. I hope you are well and continuing to find peace in your heart. You will always be a special friend. With best regards, John Jackson

There is a saying, "Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts". Emanuel was that person to me, leaving memories that will always live in my heart from "once-upon-a-time, a long time ago". It was his influence that encouraged me to take the positive direction that I chose to took in life. In sympathy, with gratitude and love, "A caring person who remembers" ~ Los Altos, CA

I worked for Manny back in 1959 at GE. He was a wonderful boss. I happened to be online and somehow came across his name. Sympathies to you and your family.

Dear Hermione, Tears filled my eyes when I saw the article in the Post this morning about the passing of your beloved husband. I certainly would have attended the funeral service on Tuesday but did not see the earlier Post announcements.
My friendship with Manny ranks at the highest level. He mentored me in special ways during our 20 years together at Fairchild, and I will always thank God for allowing our paths to cross. Our business trips together were always enjoyable,...

Manny, gave me the valuable opportunity to learn satellites and radio and shape my career as a practicing telecommunications lawyer and academic for which I am eternally grateful. Manny was a human dynamo of conceptions and energy that makes things get done. I am thankful for his life, and so sorry to see him pass.

Manny will be missed, he gave me my start in the industry and I will be forever grateful. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
