Joseph Manning

MAY 10
"GOLLEY"
IT'S ONE WEEK SINCE WE HAVE SAID GOOD BYE TO OUR FRIEND JOE AND CELEBRATED HIS LIFE.

SOME OF OUR BEST TIMES WITH PEG AND JOE WERE SPENT TOGETHERE ON FRIDAY AFTERNOONS VOLUNTEERING FOR THE YOUTH MINISTREIES. WE CALLED IT WORK BUT IT WAS MORE LIKE FUN FOR US. THERE WERE FIVE OF US JOE, PEGGT, LUCY, CLARICE AND ME. WE DID BUSY WORK. PUTTING HOLES IN PAPERS, CUTTING PAPER, STAPLING AND COLATING AND LAMINATING. AND SORTING MAIL BY ZIP CODE'S....

Peggy,
I was so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. He always had a smile for me and made me feel welcome at St. Mary's when I was new to the parish and felt invisible. I enjoyed our sessions when counting the collection money. He was pretty good at guessing about how much was there! I am so sorry for your loss. Joe will be missed by many. He was a good man! I hope he'll put in a few good words for me with God! My prayers are with you.

Mr. Manning was an inspiration to all students by what he taught and by his example in life. He had such personal discipline and expected the same of his students. I am so grateful to have visited with him at my 40th class reunion. Bless his memory.

We will always remember Joe as one of the good guys, he will surely be missed.

Joe was one of a kind, and we know that he will be missed. It was always a pleasure to hear what he had to say about anything, whether it was pro or con. Our prayers are with the entire family as we knew, or of, all of you as our families grew up together.

Dear Andrea and the Manning family: My deep condolences on your loss. I was so touched by Mr. Manning's kindness and generosity when we met, and realized how his goodness is reflected in each of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Truely one of the good guys. He will be missed. Requiescat in Pace.

Edmund, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
