Christopher L. Manna

MANNA, MR. CHRISTOPHER L. Whitehall In Loving Memory of Christopher L. Manna June 26, 1959- Sept. 26, 2008 Chris Manna was taken into God's arms on Friday, September 26, 2008. Chris was born in Springfield, MA on June 26, 1959, and was predeceased by his parents, Silvano Manna and Barbara (Freeman) Manna. He was the owner of Big C Trading Company's Neat Stuff in Whitehall. He lived in the Muskegon and Whitehall, MI area for the past 10 years. He was formerly employed at Holland USA, and also had been a Merchant Marine. Due to health limitations, Chris converted his passion for motorcycles and keen eye for interesting novelty items and collectibles into a store known as "Big Cs". His generosity, jovial nature, and affection for others were important factors which helped him start and grow the business. He was very proud that he took residence in western Michigan, and was appreciative of some very supportive friends, including Rhonda Smith and her daughter, Mandy, in the Muskegon and Whitehall area. He leaves behind his brother, Marc Manna and his wife, Susan of Framingham, MA; their two sons, Michael and Thomas Manna; as well as his brother and sister-in-law, Fred and Mary Kulas, also of Framingham, MA. Uncle Bubba's spirit will persevere through his family including his nephews, who were very close to him, his brother and other family members, and by his many friends. A MEMORIAL VISITATION will be from 5:00-7:00 PM Monday, September 29, 2008 at The Sytsema Chapel Sytsema Funeral Homes, Inc. 737 Apple Ave. 231-726-5210
