Kathy, Maddy, Sam and entire Manzella family:
So sorry to learn of Gary's passing. We have fond memories of the Halloween parties at your house with kids & dogs running around, along with seeing him at Kathy's work-related occasions. So may fun times made better by Gary's presence, insight and humor. We remember Gary as a man of integrity and solid character, truly an inspiration to others as I know he was for us. Our thoughts are with you in your time of grief.

Dear Manzella family,

My family and I wish to send our deepest condolences to each of you. Even though my husband and I had only visited with Gary on a few occasions, I remember hearing many additional stories of his younger/adult years told to me by my brother-in-law Jack, and it was very reflective of what a wonderful, fun-loving and courageous person he truly was. The video of his life was a beautiful tribute and portrayed just how much he loved and adored his wife, children,...

Dear Manzella Family
Our condolences to you Kathy. We didnt know Gary, but wish we could have known him. He sounds like an amazing man.
Holly and Peter Geraci

Dear Manzella family,
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Delia O'Donnell and Cory Christianson

Gary will be missed greatly. He was a pleasure to work with and just to know and talk too. He loved his family and always talked with pride about his kids. I always thought highly of Gary and really admired how hard he fought.

Gary you were far more than a friend, you were and are my brother. Mark is my best friend in the world but you and your entire family along with the Collins family are my family as well. Although we didn't see each other often since I moved to Las Vegas you have always been in my heart, my prayers and my thoughts. We had some great times growing up and I hope I'm worthy of seeing you again some day in heaven. Reunited, full of life and I know we will pick up right where we left off. I'm glad...

Gary you are loved by many family and friends . May you Rest In Peace with no more sickness . I know we grew up and went separate ways but I will keep the fun memories always . Love , Renee

God's Garden . . .
God looked around His garden and found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest,
God's garden is beautiful - He always takes the best.
He knew your journey was long and needed to be ended,
the road was getting rough and the hills too hard to climb.
He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be Thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you but you...
