Mr. James R. McManus

Jim was kind, generous, and humble. He always had time for listening, and I sought his advice many times. He was one of the most important people in my life, a good friend and supporter of my adventures. His stories were wonderful. I will miss his humor and patience, but above all, his caring spirit.

The passing of our Loved one is a sadness ,but the memories and prayers help ease the pain and help soothe the sadness of your heart.hm

Jim McManus was a respected and beloved leader of the Hell's Kitchen community that he cherished throughout his life.

He was a long-time friend and supporter. While our approaches to politics were very different, Jim cared deeply about the people of his community.

Whether helping neighborhood residents tackle problems, ushering candidates for office through the streets of Hell's Kitchen, or presiding over his legendary St. Patrick's Day festivities, Jim McManus showed his...

I've known Jim since the middle 1970's. I worked with him at the Board of Elections for over 5 years. He had the biggest heart & was the kindest man you would ever want to meet. When I worked with him, he was there every day and rarely took a day off. He was one of a kind and I will deeply miss him & his great sense of humor. My heart bleeds for his entire family. Rest in Peace my friend. May you be with Jackie, Eugene, Denis & Maureen; all at peace in Heaven.

Losing someone that we love never comes easy. It is truly heartbreaking. May God's promises in Isaiah 65:17 comfort and help you.

Jim and I were young Democratic District Leaders together. Jim was the District Leader on the West Side, while I was District Leader on the East Side. We were political and social friends. I had a great respect for his family's long political history in Manhattan going back to Theodore Roosevelt. The century long tradition of the McManus political influence will be missed and Jim will be missed having upheld the long tradition of local politics. May he Rest In Peace..

With deep gratitude for all you did for the Vera family back in the 60s. He was the guardian angel of Hell's Kitchen families and working people. Loyalty was important to him and vice versa. We will not see his like again, and that is a pity.

My condolences for your loss. May fond memories and the love of family and friends comfort you during this time of sorrow. Jeremiah 29:11. May the precious memories sustain you.
