I wish to express my condolences to the family. Manuel called my father(Roger Ruvalcaba)last month to express his sympathy on my mother's(Lupe)death stating he was ill and unable to attend Mom's funeral. That was so gracious of him. Dad remembered Manuel and the good times he had while a member of the P.A.G.A. Rest in peace Mr. Diaz

To all the Diaz family. To hear of Manuel's passing was a sad moment for me. But the memories that I have, and all who have had the pleasure to know such a great man will be with us forever. I met Manuel playing golf with my Dad (Pete Murguia), Uncle Lupe Rosales,and Uncle Mike Rosales, Tony Diaz, Pete Padilla and all the PGA players. I was blessed, they let me play. They are all in my memories along with Manuel, someday I will be able to join that group again. I know those great men will be lookn down on us when they get to the first tee!! !!

I was so sorry to learn about Manny's passing. My father, Jessie Rodriguez, and Manny have been friends since as long as I can remember. He always struck me as a kind and generous man who lived a life of honor. The beauty of a life well-lived is that it's never forgotten and instead lives on in all those who loved him. My deepest condolences to Mary and their entire family.
