Manuel R. DaSilva Jr.

Say not in grief: "He is no more," but live in thankfulness that he was.

The very first time I was taught how to tie flies Manny had giving me praise 30+ years ago . Long since that class I have "moved on " with my life and career only to retire last year and rekindle our connections through the very same classes. Manny welcomed me back as I never left the WMFF club. His grace and kindness to all ages in the classes he taught for so long will I,m sure be in everyone's hearts. Thank you Manny for the memories and skills that you have instilled onto to so many...

Rest in peace.....

God could not have put a better man on this earth than Manny DaSilva. Manny had a heart of gold, the patience of a saint, and a singing voice of an angel. I am sure the choirs of Heavenly angels welcomed Manny with open arms.

To the family of Manny my deepest condolences. Manny brought us outside in the coldest of winter nights for his flytying classes. Thank you Manny, RIP. Ray Phaneuf, a friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. Many was such a wonderful person. I don´t I ever saw him without a smile on his face. I will keep him in my prayers. God Bless

To the DaSilva Family my sincere condolences. I was fortunate enough to have met Manny last January in attending the WM Fly Fishermans fly tying program. Manny was most impressive given his vast knowledge, equally amiable and very welcoming to a woman looking to learn and fit in amongst many gentlemen associated with this wonderful organization. The Fly Fishing community has lost a gem of a man. Tight lines Manny as you fish on! Claire Clini

So sorry for your family's loss.
