My deepest sympathy to the family and friends. I knew Willie years ago from the YMCA in Springfield. He was always so happy and kind to everyone. Always had a smile on his face. R.I.P. Willie

Dean "Willie" Manzi - what a great man. Really the original "Athletic Director" and Coach at Springfield Technical Community College. Willie was a great mentor and supporter of what became a State, Regional, and Nationally powerful Athletics Program at STCC. Condolences to the entire Manzi Family - Coach/Dean Manzi will be missed.

Willie was the brother I never had, we grew up in the south end our whole lives, playing sports at Emerson White. I loved him dearly and will never forget him.

Willie kept me on the straight and narrow when I arrived at STCC in 1969 as a student. He was my basketball coach. He gave me tough love which I needed. Saw him often at the YMCA. He was a good friend of my Dad's. Believe in Jesus like he did and you will see him in Heaven again. Until we meet again Willie. Blessings
