James Joseph Manzo, of Crestwood, Illinois, formerly of Worth, Illinois, passed away peacefully at his home on February 24th, 2026, at the age of 88. He is survived by his devoted wife of 38 years, Marsha Manzo/Loyd, and brothers Anthony (Marilyn Vanucci) Manzo and Joseph Manzo. He was a loving father to Jeanette (Steven) Perry, James (Connie) Manzo and Stewart Holmes; proud grandfather of Steven Perry, Paul (Heatherly) Perry, Teresa (John) Straatmann and Anthony (Rebecca Gable) Manzo.
