James Patrick McManus

I was Jim's administrative assistant at Zoots. Jim was kind, gentle and real. He is loved by so many and greatly missed. He was a wonderful wonderful boss. And a wonderful wonderful man. When I left Zoots I was trying to say goodbye to him and was crying so hard I just couldn't get the words out. I had to write him a letter to tell him what a wonderful person he was and how much I enjoyed working for him. Just a wonderful human being. t

Thank you for the reminder. I will celebrate Holy Mass in Jim's memory and for all the family members. Jim and his family were faithful parishioners of St. Andrew Church whenever they were on Block Island. God bless you all.

This comes so late but nonetheless most sincere. I came upon Jim's obituary by pure chance. I am so sorry to receive the news of his death. All the McManus family were faithful summer parishioners here at St. Andrew's on Block Island. I will offer Holy Mass for the repose of his soul and for each of you who still mourn his passing. May God take him into eternity with His embrace of love. And through Jim's intercession, bring peace and caring on all who remain. God bless each of you most...
