Michael L. MANNERINO Jr.

I know this is a repeat, but he was my clarinet teacher for many years. I wonderful man.

A wonderful man. He was my clarinet teacher at Anderson. Even had me be the Drum Major in the marching band.

Mr. Mannerino was my fondest memory in high school. He was my band director from 1967-1969. He was a kind and patient man and let me know I was an important part of his band and marching band. I loved Mr. Mannerino and was heartily sorry when he left teaching. I never thanked him for what he taught me as a student and the example he provided us all by being a truly good man. God bless you and remain at peace. Your timpanist and percussionist, Phil Crea

He was my clarinet teacher for all of my time at Anderson School. He was just terrific. One of the people you hate to see pass on.

Mr. Mannerino was my band director from elementary until his last year of teaching in 1969.
He encouraged me to practice going from last chair to first. Little did he know I played professional trumpet for over 30 years. Big influence in my life !

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Mannerino's passing. He was such a great inspiration to me as my band director. His name is one of the few names that come to mind when I think of my days at Anderson High School. He was not only the band director but also a great influence on many young lives.

I'm so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was such an important mentor to me as he taught me nearly everything I know about instrumental music. I had the privilege of working at the store with him and various members of his family for over 10 years. He will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with the Mannerino family during this difficult time.

Thinking of you all and wishing you peace. May God bless your family and may your memories make you smile.

I remember, with tremendous awe and reverence as a high school flutist, Mr. Mannerino guest conducting one of our evening concert band practices in order to critique and lend suggestions. He was kind, but forceful in his comments, and you knew that music was his love. My heartfelt condolences to his family...
