He was such a great doctor with a great sense of humor too. To make my physical less awkward when he would check me down there he would be like 1 2 and 3 they are all there.

I just learned of the passing of Rich. We were high school classmates at Sewanhaka High School and we also played on the tennis team together. Rich was so intelligent with such a wonderful sense of humor. He always carried home a stack of books after school each day - he was such a hard worker. I remember Rich heading for Duke University and I presume Duke Medical School. To read the comments of the parents of his patients brought tears to my eyes. Rich was such a brilliant, caring, compassionate doctor with such extraordinary skills in working with children. It was a privilege to know Rich in high school. My sincere condolences to his family.

Rich was a colleague of mine at Mid-Suffolk Pediatrics for several years. He was a gentle soul and an excellent Pediatrician. Our world is a better place because of his time here. He is sorely missed and my condolences to the Manners family.

Was my pediatrician, was a wonderful and kind soul. Sad that he's gone and I can't reconnect.

He was my pediatrician until I was 9 and then I figured out what happened. He was the nicest doctor I ever met and no one will replace that . He always made me laugh when I was scared or sick . Now today I am 11 and I will never forget him and everything he did for me . Thank you for inspiring me to be like you some day .

Where do I begin... to tell the story of the Greatest Doctor I've known
There is so much to say about Dr. Manners, what Doctor would give up there dinner break to see someone he didn't know. From that moment on, we knew he would be a great Doctor for our daughter Lisamarie.
Due to our daughters handicap, we had along journey with Dr. Manners, in good times and bad times. He always found the time to call, squeeze us in for an appointment, and give us advise over the phone. He got us through some tough times and his advise was always taken to heart.
Dr. Manners had a heart of Gold, he always made time for our daughter, he always said "Don't Worry "we" will get through this. You're doing a great job with Lisamarie. Keep up the good work.
In 2002- our daughter was in the hospital, we almost lost our daughter to ARDS- she was 12 at the time-I remember Dr. Manners making his rounds at the hospital and he looked at me and I looked at him and he asked if he can have a hug and he reassured me- we will get through this, as we both started crying. And we did, when we went to see Doctor Manners so Lisamarie can return to school, he said not so fast we'll take it week by week, but I want to do something for you. I think you need a break or better yet a vacation- how would you like to go to Disney World . So, he filled out the form for Make A Wish and Lisamarie's wish was granted. Now he was apart of our family for sure. From day one, every Christmas I would make or buy and sometimes he would say- ran out of time(when they were bought) and we always gave him a Disney tie, I don't know if the dish of cookies ever made it home, but we had to do something for him and his family. We thank Mr. Manners for letting Lisamarie see him, even when she had no insurance, he said don't worry I'll take care of it. That says a lot about the person, how I miss him dearly, I was in shock when I got the news and still is. We lost a great Doctor,he was more like a friend than a Doctor. We will remember him on the 19th- by sending cookies to the office. I will never forget Dr. Manners for all that he gave up to help us out. He was and still is the Best Doctor- you'll never find anyone like him. Maybe his grandson 30 years from now. You never know.
Thank you for allowing me to attend the wake, it meant a lot to me, and to his family - what a great loss, but we will always remember all that he did for us- even when Lisamarie was sick- he would say I'm on call - here's the days I work- remember call me if you need me. We lost someone very special and dear to us. Sorry so long, I can go on and on- but I can't

So terribly sorry to hear of Dr. Manners passing. He was a fabulous doctor to my daughter, Mikaila and always made me feel how much he really cared about his little patients!
I was in the office in Hauppague just the other day with my grand daughter and the PA that saw us was so delightful and caring that she reminded me of him!
How wonderful to have a little bit of him in her!
You will be missed!

I was shocked to learn about Dr. Manners death today. My son is 31 and Dr. Manners became his doctor right from the start. He was the most patient and caring doctor I have ever met. Six years later when my daughter was born, his concern for her medical condition was unbelievably compassionate. It was just a few months after he had lost his daughter. I felt guilty telling him about our children's minor health problems. However, even with what he was going through, he stayed focused on his job. I will always remember him, and my heart goes out to his family. Be comforted to know that he touched people's lives in such a memorable way. He may be gone from this life but he will always be in the hearts of thousands of patients and parents that he took care of.

Heart broken, we want to let his family know how appreciative we are that he was there for us throughout the years and that we too share in their loss. We

We were so sad to hear of Dr. Manners passing. He was such a wonderful Dr. We have been going to him for 23 years. My three kids used to love that he gave out baseball card packs when they came in for a check up. He was such a kind, warm and caring man. With all the kids he would see eachday I was amazed how he would remember to ask my son how baseball was going or events in school for my kids that we had spoke about previously. He will be greatly missed :(

My family was heartbroken to hear about the loss of Dr. Manners. He has been my children's pediatrician for the past 11 years and always put both of my kids at ease during their visits. We were referred to Dr. Manners by a friend when I was looking for a new pediatrician back in 2004. Having a daughter with Autism (she had a son with Autism) we needed a Doctor who understood Autism, and didn't look at these kids as if they should all just be placed in group homes by the time they are 15 years old. Dr. Manners always took his time with our daughter, no matter how much she cried. He really knew how to build her up to not look at the Doctor's office as a scary place but as a place that helps make you feel better. It's because of his personality, the stickers he always had in his shirt pocket to give to her and the fact that he treated her like a human being she doesn't mind going to the Doctor all these years later. He always made my son feel at ease, too, and always joked around with him. At the very last visit we saw Dr. Manners at a few weeks ago, he told my son, now almost 16 years old, "you are perfect and I don't say that to everyone." Well, the reason he is perfect is because of you, Dr. Manners. I just wish I had the chance to tell you that. RIP. We love you and will miss you dearly. Thank you for being the BEST Doctor my kids ever had.

I am deeply saddened over the loss of Dr. Manners. My heart goes out to Tracey and the entire family. My older son had been going to him for 9 years and he had a special way with him. He empathized with children and always made my son feel comfortable and special. He would joke around with both of my children as well. He never seemed to lose passion for his profession. He was truly an inspiration. When my son was two years old I was concerned that he didn't speak much and Dr. Manners reassured me that if he understood what I told him, he would be fine. My son is almost 9 and is advanced in school. I will never forget the confidence and reassurance that he gave me as a mother. There is no one like him. He will be greatly missed by our family!

Dr. Manners came highly reccommended from those we met during our NICU stay in Stony Brook University Children's Hospital. From the moment we met him, we knew we'd never go elsewhere! His demeanor, professionalism and great attitude will be greatly missed. I'll never forget the times he told me how I was doing a great job with my special needs son. He gave me confidence that I was doing the right things. This is a HUGE loss for this community and my heart goes out to all his family, friends, co-workers and to the families whose lives he so wonderfully touched.

When I think of Dr. Manners I recall a funny, kind and caring doctor. My children have so many funny stories of him, one story we tell often is when he placed stickers over my son's mouth to keep him quiet. Dr. Manners took the time to develop relationships with his patients and their families. He would always say "no question is silly" when I would ask for his advice. He was always there to support my family through each asthma attack and hospital stay. He will truly be missed. Our condolences to his family.

Our hearts are heavy with the loss of Dr. Manners. When we met 24 years ago at CHPS with the birth of our first daughter we felt so blessed to have found such a wonderful doctor. Over the years, any many many office visits, Dr. Manners was always there for us and he became a part of our family. We will miss you so very much. Our love and prayers to the Manners family.

Dr Manners, You will be missed dearly by my family. You cared for me when I was a child and later you cared for my own children. We are grateful to have known you all these years.

My children and I will truly miss Dr. Manners. Our condolences to his family. When I told my 16 year old son he started to tear up. My kids always remember the time when he placed stickers across my middle son's mouth because he wouldn't stop talking. He was always so funny and took time to develop relationships with his patients. He would say, " no question is silly" when I would ask him advice. He will truly be missed.

I was so sad to hear this news. Brought tears to my eyes. We had just seen Dr. M. a few weeks ago and my quiet, shy son said "I really like him". I have always wanted to tell him what a great pediatrician he was..kind, understanding, very patient!! I'm sorry I never did. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Manners family and the Mid Suffolk Family. The Maroney's, Miller Place, NY

To the Manners Family,
Our hearts are just broken at the loss of such a special man. He has been our son's pediatrician for the past 19 1/2 years. From the first day that we met him, we knew it would be a longstanding relationship. He was kind, compassionate, and genuinely caring. He had such a way about him that put all children (and parents) instantly at ease. He will be missed by so many. Our deepest condolences to you all.

Our deepest sympathy to the Manners family. Dr. Manners was an amazing physician and person. He was always so helpful and gave me so much guidance when I became a mom with my only son. We loved seeing his smile when he walked in "oh good you brought me a baby!" He will be sorely missed but always remembered so fondly.
