Walter R. McManus Jr.

Mary, Dennis, Lore, Julie, Maureen, Pat and Steve, and the grand and great grand children, I know what we say now can't give you much comfort at this time, but we just want you to know how sad we are, and that we hurt for you. We have such wonderful memories of all of you. We shared some happy and some kinda tense times together. The visits were happy, the time we shared with Dennis for some months in Houston, when Lore and Jim cam by for a short visit while on their honeymoon. Then there...

My deepest condolences to the family. I loved your dad he had a presence about him. He was a class act! Never said much but when he spoke you listened. He will be missed greatly. He and the family will be in my prayers. RIP Walt until we meet again.

To the Family of Walter McManus:

Many years ago, Mr. McManus was very helpful to our mother, Maria Balducchi. She appreciated his help, and we are grateful to him. With our sincere sorrow, and best wishes,

David E. Balducchi
Raya Balducchi Rawson
Albert J. Balducchi

Pat and family, I am very sorry for the passing of your dad. He is in heaven now watching over you. He will be missed by everyone. My prayers are with your family.

The Donaldson family sends its deepest sympathies. My Mom (Betty) and late Farther (Bob) always looked forward to their trips to Des Moines and visits they would have with the entire McManus family.Your Father will be missed but I am sure Walt and Bob are currently having some lively debate.

Walt was one of the nicest men I have ever met and was always so polite at hearings.

My most sincere condolences on Walt's passing. I appeared before Walt on many workers' compensation cases and mediations and he was always such a gentle and fair arbiter of his cases. He will be missed.

Dear Mary and family,
You are in my thought and prayers during this difficult time.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him.

Walt worked close to my department at Farm Bureau. Every afternoon he would bring me and my 2 friends tea. We always looked forward to our "tea parties". Know that many many people were blessed by knowing such a wonderful man.
