Even though I did not know Jack personally I have known his son Bob for many years. To have raised such a wonderful son I know Jack must have been an amazing man. My prayers are with his family and friends during this tough time.

I had the pleasure of sitting with Jack at my cousin Fred's wedding. He took charge of the table and had everyone involved in conversation- a true talent. Rest in Peace, Jack.

It is so hard for me to imagine life without Uncle Jack. He has been there for every family event over the years - hosting my family for the holidays, attending the many weddings, baptisms, graduations, etc., and supporting our family through my mom's hospitalizations and my dad's illness and death. Through it all, Uncle Jack has been the rock that held all of us together. He is the true patriarch of the Manning clan. I will miss him deeply but feel honored and blessed to have been part of his life.
