Manuel was one of the finest gentlemen I ever met.
Never complained or degraded any one and was always fun to be with
I spent time with him at willow brook and at the senior center.
We both loved music and had a connection to Dayton, Ohio
Sorry that I couldnt attend his funeral
I know that he will rest in peace
I will never forget him

Bill and Todd, I am so sorry for your loss. I so enjoyed re-telling stories with your dad when he visited my mom in Jackson. We had a grand time!
