To Sue and family my condolences. Jim McManus was a gentleman, to me, on and off the court.
I played doubles tennis with Jim at Oakland City College, Oakland, California. We were fortunate enough to win the State of CaliforniaCommunity College Tennis Championship that year,Playing the representing College from Southern California in the final match.

It was such an enjoyable experience. Jim played every tennis match with me, with such respect for our opponents and for the game of tennis. His accomplishment in California Tennis don't go unnoticed and definitely unappreciated. Jim I salute you with all my heart.

To Jim's family,

I had the pleasure of Jim's company during the years I was employed as a teacher/administrator in the NHPS.

He was a joy to be around and had a knack for making those around him feel good.

My deepest condolences to his family on his passing.

He was a GEM.
