My sincere condolences the McManus family on the loss of their beloved husband and father, Jack. May the pain of his loss be tempered with time, and replaced by happy memories. Mr. McManus always had a joke and a welcoming way with everyone. He will be truly missed

Rest peacefully in the arms of the lord Jack. As we remember the words of the christ. " My fathers house has many mansions, I go to prepare a place for thee", and to forgive our trespasses as we forgive the trespasses of others. In this is the power of life and the lord.

Jack was just like a father to me growing up and I will truly miss him and him yelling at us to pick up the crab apples in the yard on Maplewood. There are so many fond memories I have of him growing up I cannot possible share them all. Your family is in my prayers during your time of sorrow.
