Dear Rey family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Manny was a great guy. I lost touch with him over the years as life takes everyone in different directions. I just heard of his passing this morning and I feel horrible for Manny and your family. Manny, I hope you are at peace and thank you for the laughs that we had together back in the day, I will always cherish those memories.
My deepest condolences and best wishes,

I just heard of Manny's passing today, and would like to extend my condolences... Manny worked for me a few years back, at my news agency. He was my night supervisor, and had become like family.My wife and son grew to love him, as he was like a brother to me. I have awesome memories of the times we spent together. Manny was a handful, but we always had each others back. He had a love for family that was admirable. Manny worshiped the ground his mom once stood upon, had the utmost respect for his dad, and often spoke of his bro's, with love in his voice. Everyone that he came across, fell in love with him. His great laugh, bright smile, and those blue eyes, would make you melt. Manny, I will be forever broken, but will find peace knowing, you still have my back! I love you Manny, and will continue to douse myself in our favorite cologne, in your honor!

I just find out that Manny passed away. I am just so sorry to hear this sad news. I remember Manny very well. Always had a smile on his face. As you see, I was his third grade teacher at St. Thomas More. He brought a lot of laughs to the classroom. I hadn't seen Manny in many years but never will forget his smile. May God bless all of you at this difficult time. MaryLee Henning

This is such sad news! I have been out of touch with Manny for quite some time now. We attended Jr. High together and he was such a sweet person and had an amazing sense of humor. I will be praying for your family, Manny- especially Tony. Until we meet again.......
