Manny you were one of the "three musketeers" along side of Tom Black and I for years. We all worked well together. I miss you and think about you. I hope you're playing your music and singing to your hearts content! Love, Cheryl

I have many warm memories of Manny. Together, you, myself & Tom, the 3 musketeers on nights for many years. Your laugh was infectious! You loved to scare people, especially Tom! You weren't a vet. However, you served them for many years at the VA. You loved hearing their stories, especially the World War Ii vets. Not only were a good therapist to Maggie, but also a good friend. You would visit with him, even at the apartment when you didn't have to. So my friend happy, heavenly memorial day to you. I will see you again someday. Love-Cheryl

Manny,
It was more than a pleasure working with you at the VA hospital in Phoenix all those years from 1987 to 2013 when I retired. It was also more than a pleasure to be your friend. Most of all, I want to thank you for being my husband's caretaker and friend for so long. Your were a really good RT. You were passionate about your music. You were a good dad and tata. I will have a lot of really good memories until we meet again. Te quiero amigo!

Manual and I grew up as neighbors at the Tel Wi Wi ranch. I remember playing with him in the fields, swimming in the river, flow next to his home ( only 3 feet deep ). Claiming trees, making tree houses, actually playing Tarzan. We used to go out side in our underwear and get two wash cloths one for the front and one for the back of our underwear. During the week we took the bus to and from Dysart. Our parents used to get together just about every weekend. As time went on we started playing guitars together after school. We kept in connect over the years having dinner in Phoenix and before the Covid-19 he and his lady friend came over to the house for dinner. We spoke regularly on the phone and message each our on face book or texts. Oh he made a video on the flight line in Goodyear Airport next to our Shop, with the back ground of the Aircraft. I have so much more I can say. I would like to get with you all and talk about it. My wife asked me when did I meet hi. I told her I don't know because we were babies playing together, that's when it all started. I am 8 months older them him. We started kinder garden together room # 1 at Dysart, Ms. Marine was our teacher. I miss him already and I know he is with the Angels now. I will be with him again, we all will. God Bless you my Brother.
