I worked with Manny at 150. He was always smiling and happy. He was always very nice to me and treated you well. I loved when he would bring homemade burritos and tamales. So sorry to hear of his passing. God bless you Manny and blessings to your family.

Yes, my friend Manny was a very hard worker but way more than that. Manny was a true and genuine person, a truly good man. I have thought of him often since retirement. My sincerest condolences to his family, he will be missed.

I only knew him affectionately as “Blanco”. He was a man of few words but his presence spoke volumes. He was a loving family man, devoted to his wife Shelly and their daughters. The world is a better place because of him. May he rest in God’s eternal peace.
