Manning B. Williams Jr.

Manny, was telling someone about you today. Remembered red river and Welshmen never yield. Hope to see you when the tombs get opened, Mac.

Barbara,

My sincerest condolences to you with the loss of of your soul mate. We were out of town when Manning passed, and I just learned about it today. I never had the privilege of knowing him, but I know the world now has a vacancy that will be hard to fill, if ever it could be. May the Lord comfort you as only He can, and may your memories sustain you through all your tomorrows. Manning was truly a remarkable person and has left a tremendous and talented contribution to the...

Dear Barbara,
My sincere condolences on your great loss. I wish you happy memories and continuing growth.

Barbara + Manning, a pair like no other. You both are in my thoughts.
From a singular vision of the Charleston landscape to a color coded landscape of his mind, Manning's paintings, even if looking like home, take us somewhere else or if foreign, bring home provocative questions.
Manning will always be-- in the picture.
I will miss him. Kat Hastie

Barbara, May God bless and keep you during this time of loss. Manning will live in our memories forever. I'll never forget how wonderful a friend he was to my late husband, George. The first Christmas present I gave George was a beautiful still life by Manning. And, I will never forget how kind Manning was to serve as a pallbearer at George's funeral. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find some comfort in knowing that Manning is loved and missed by the many, many people he...

In the passing of Manning, I have lost a friend, a colleague and a mentor. Always kind and the best storyteller, both on and off the canvas. I will miss you.

The world is a bettter place because of your presence my dear friend. We shared tears and laughs on many of the "old places" where our souls had visited during that War. Gods speed Manning, until we can again drink from my canteen...

Dear Barbara: I am so sorry to hear that Manning has left us! He was such a special man and I will always remember him most fondly. Just this month one of my guests remarked on the picture that he painted, over 36 years ago, and was eager to hear about its history and that the artist was a personal friend. She found it mesmorizing, said she had been staring at it all evening. He will live on forever in his work. With much love, Betsy Gourlay, Monterrey, Mexico

I was saddened to learn of Manning's death. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. I'll miss him. Love, Anne
