Robert Manno Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on May 3, 1937, in Johnstown, NY, he was the son of the late Paul and Helen (Hladik) Manno.
A graduate of Johnstown High School, class of 1955, Robert went on to establish a successful career as an interior decorator, launching his own business, Bob Manno Decorators. Yet, despite his professional accomplishments, he was most proud of the home and family he built with his wife, Sharon Manno.
Robert was a member of St. Anthony's Church, living his Catholic beliefs. He was also an avid sports fan, with a particular passion for the New York Yankees. However, his athletic interests didn't stop at fandom; he was an enthusiastic participant too, enjoying both basketball and baseball in his youth-once famously bunting off the legendary Satchel Paige.
One of Robert's greatest joys was coaching baseball to his children and to countless others in his community. From Little League through Babe Ruth and American Legion, he shared his love of the game and the values of sportsmanship and teamwork.
Robert is survived by his wife, Sharon; children, Michael, Scott, Robert (Pilar), and Michele (Michael); grandchildren, Jessica Brown (Joshua), Camden and Macie Manno; and great-grandchild, Reece Brown; as well as several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
In addition to his parents, Robert is predeceased by his brother, Paul Manno.
A Funeral Service will be held on Friday April 18, 2025, at 3:00 PM at the A.G. Cole Funeral Home Inc., 215 E. Main Street, Johnstown, NY.
Calling hours for family and friends will be held prior to the service at the funeral home from 1:00 PM until 3:00 PM.
Interment will be at St. Anthony's Cemetery, Johnstown, NY, at a later date.
