Stephen L. Manley

Dear Dad,
yesterday was Fathers Day, and I know now that my life will never be the same, the hole in my heart will never be filled, give me strength to make it through this.
I miss you more and more every day. Love always
Daddy's Little Girl.

Thanks to everyone who acknowledged my father's passing. I'm the youngest of the four children. I was the fortunate one in my early twenties to be able to take time to really know who my father was throughout his life. I guess what I shared with my father was something that all fathers hope to share with their children, time. It was the time that dad and I did this, and the time that dad and I went here. The sister (St. Mary Magdelene) said two things at the funeral home on Friday night, the...

Dear Dad,
You are only gone now for a few days, your funeral was beautiful,so many freinds so many stories. How very lucky I am to have you for my father, I love you dad and promise to take care of mom, Steve, Linda and Tom. I can still hear you singing Daddy's little girl, and I know the next time I hear it we will be together again. I love you

Dear Family

I just read of the passing of Steve. I'm from the old neighborhood and was a steady customer of Manley Marine. I remember all the good direction Steve gave me in fixing up my Lyman boat. When I came home from VietNam (US Marines) Steve said it's time to get rid of that wooden boat and I listened to him. He sold me a new MFG boat which I kept for 26 years. I continued to shop at the store and always felt like family when I entered. My prayers will be with the...

To our dear friends, Jr., Linda, and family - We are so saddened to hear of the death of Mr. Manley. We have sweet memories of summer picnics when Mr. & Mrs. Manley were there. Our memory of him is of a vital, active man who loved his family. We so regret not being able to travel to Cleveland this weekend. Know that our prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.

Lillian and all the family, know you are in my thoughts and prayers today and all the days that follow.

The rolling on does get a little smoother, but I know your wounds are deep and fresh. May God hold you all in the palm of His loving hands.

Mrs. Manley, Theresa, Steve, Linda and Tom and families I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Manley. He was a wonderful person who was loved by all those that knew him.

Dear Mrs. Lillian Manley, Tom Manley and all the members of your beautiful family, I wish to express my dearest sympathies to all of you in this time of great loss. Steve Manley lives forever in all of our hearts. Your loving memories are stronger and more enduring than the grief you now feel. The sadness will slowly subside and yield to your eternal love for a fine man, loving husband, father and friend. I always had the utmost respect for Mr. Manley, the "Old Sailor" who always greeted me...
