My heart is heavy. I find it difficult to comprehend that Jack is gone from our world. I've known Jack since elementay school and I have fond memories of some of his antics. He was so darn cute and charming. I was always greeted with a big kiss and a hug. The Class of 76 will never be the same nor will the Town of Avon. His memory will be with us forever. May he rest in peace.

God Bless You Jack. I recall the morning you came by to borrow my motorcycle to get your permit. My 1970's can't be mentioned without your name. Thank you for allowing me to play ice hockey against you ONCE and ride your 1st Sportster ONCE. When I made it home, your interest always made the military enlistments more worthwhile. Jack elicited a, I'm glad that guy's here feeling: he was a star. The Irish will say prayers for Jack and his family: May God Please Bless this very good man.

Jack & Priscilla, Gerry, Steve, Patty & Jeanie.
Needless to say both Carole and I were shocked to hear the news of Jackie's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Hockey, weekend cookouts, Horseneck Beach and building dad's fence and pool are just a few of the memories I have of the fantastic times our families spent together. Jackie was always quick with a joke to make you smile and laugh. He will be in our prayers and in our hearts.
God Bless you all in these troubled times.

Mr.and Mrs.Manning, Gerry, Stephen, Patty and Jeannie,
I was so deeply saddened when I heard about Jackie. Our families go way back. Cookouts every weekend during the summer. I can remember Jack and his friends jumping off the roof of your house into the pool. Horseneck beach trips when Ken D'Entremont got poison ivy. It was a good time, all the time. I am so sorry for your loss. Jackie was well liked and always kind, respectful and considerate to everyone he knew.My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Manning family.

Sincerely,
Debbie Currie (Carlson)

My prayers to the entire Manning Family. How do I say goodbye to a wonderful man that I've known my whole life. My memories of riding bicycles in our great neighborhood and seeing the young Manning boys go way back. I would not trade these memories for anything. Jack was so handsome, charming, loyal and treated everyone with respect. That tells me that his wonderful parents raised him right. I am proud to have known him and all his siblings. May Jack be at peace now. In my heart forever and a day. Quoting Stevie Wonder recently: "I wish I hadn't lived to see this day". With sincere love,
Robin
