Gary Manasco

So sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to the family.He was my son Garrett´s golf coach. What a good man he was!!

Bellevue has lost one of its truly remarkable people. Gary was an excellent athlete, teammate, teacher and coach but most of all showed humility and sportsmanship in everything he did. My first memory of Gary was when we played on the same team in Little League in Bellevue at Greenwood Heights, now Robert Peters Park. He was a real student of the game and played any position on the field but preferred 2nd base and was the anchor to our infield. His coaching and leadership skills developed...

Although I lost contact with Gary when I retired in 2003, I often thought about him, and our friendship while we taught together at SE. We'd spend time discussing current events and science topics during free periods. He was greatly admired and loved by his students, including my own children, Ken and Bonnie.

Mr. Manasco was my teacher many years ago, and one of very few I remember fondly. His love for teaching was unmatched, and he had such a warm personality. My heart goes out to his family.

I got to know Gary when my kids played golf for SE High School, Christopher played all four of his years in the mid 2000's and Sara played a couple of years. I drove the Golf Bus and Gary taught me how to keep the scores, so he didn't have to. We had a lot of great memories over the 4 years the kids were in golf. I was so sorry to hear of his loss, Alzheimer's robs so many wonderful people of a beautiful life.
