Manuel loved to BBQ and have a good time. He enjoyed making his family and friends laugh. He also enjoyed dice, cards and playing bingo. He was a big fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he loved his football numbers. Manuel also loved making memories at the river or the lake where he always had a good time drinking his “Bub light.” Manuel was a hardworking man. He first started working at the age of 14 years old. He put in many years of work at Mission Valley Mill until they closed down. He then changed his line of work and became a custodian for Seguin ISD and later on, Navarro ISD, where he stayed until his well-deserved retirement.
