Dr. Eugene Francis McManus

I was walking into a office yesterday and saw a brick dedicated in his name. It brought me up short and I was flooded with emotion. I'm 58 and he was my pediatrician and my son's as well. I knew him as a child and as the mother of a child in his loving care. As a child, I always was happy to go to see him. He was so disarming and gentle I hardly knew he was assessing my health. As a mother, I watched with amazement and love as he cared for my chronically ill son. I never knew him outside...

What can be said about Dr. Mac, except he cared and loved for each of his children. Dr. Mac was my doctor growing up and then he was my daughter's doctor. When I married and moved to California, Dr. Mac always ask my mom when he saw her and my little brother about his California girls. Upon visiting home I usually ended up seeing Dr. Mac with one of my children. He was always available.

Dr. Mac even took the time to visit the funeral home when I lost my husband to brain cancer....

Heaven's gain is our communities' loss! There will never be another Dr. Mac. We have the fondest memories of this special man that took care of us and our second generation babies. With deepest sympathy to his family.

My Daughters and I would like to extend our Sympathy to all of the Family of "Dr Mac". He was truly a great Doctor and a Great Man. "Dr Mac" always gave such loving care and attention, not only to his patients but also to us parents, and that always made a large impression on us not only with the 1st child but on thru the 3rd child. We will miss "Dr Mac" always.

What a wonderful man and neighbor. I have been moved away for fifteen years, but keep track of Aiken news via my daughter Pat Carlisle who lives in our old house on Walker Ave.
I would have liked to have attended Dr. Mac's funeral but I do want to express my deepest sympathy and wish the family well.

I'd like to offer my deepest condolences to the family of my childhood doctor. May you find peace and strength in these hard times.

Warmest Aloha,
John

To the family and friends of Dr. Mac....I was a patient of his from around 1968 until I was in my late teens and he was perhaps the most caring and gentle doctor I have ever known. He will surely be greatly missed. My condolences to his family.

Dear McManus Family, I send my love and sympathy to one and all. Especially Neil and Trudy & children; my cousin, Jerry and all her children. I did not know Dr. McManus, but the write-up tells me a little of his love and care of others. What a beautiful and gentle man he must have been. With love, Helena
