My dad, Dewey Manis, was a resident with Manuel. I personally spoke with Manuel many times about where he worked, his wife, & many other topics. He was such a sweet man. Manuel & my dad would talk quite a bit. My family sure did think a lot of him. Praying for his family.

Manuel put a smile on my face at the Villages everyday. My dad is in there, Sarge Reed, and I always enjoyed visiting with and talking to Manuel. He was a kind soul and me and my family will miss seeing him.
