When I think Of Cirilo Manego My mind is flooded with a vast number of things.The year we played baseball at Xavier University; The year (1961) we were hired as Teacher/coach at St. Augustine High; The year(1967)he served as best man in my wedding; I see him on the practice field/court with his whistle around his neck moving always moving as he supervised drills.I see these things and I see even more. I will never forget him.
Our hearts and our prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

It is through God's grace that I was blessed and fortunate to have Coach Manego as an instructor doing my attendance at SUNO. He was indeed a wonderful person, sincere and encouraging; dedicated to his profession. God used him to mold, sustain, and guide me as I attended SUNO Evening Division in my late twenties while going through a separation from my wife and children. I was able to complete my degree and continue on with my life. Just as my heart was healed, Earth has no sorrow that God can not heal. Be encouraged and may you find peace and consulation as I have in the wonderful person Coach Mangeo lived to be.

I always tell my kids all the great things you achieved in life and they can achieve the same goals. I can go on and on but I will close by saying gone too soon.We all see each other again in the Golden Gates of Heaven.God bless you Uncle Dee and you will never be forgotten by all the people lives you have touched and helped along the way.They will forever remember you in the City of New Orleans.Rest in peace.I love you with all my heart.Lisa A.

Manego Family,
I was deeply saddened by the news of Mr. Manego's passing.
We worked together at Drew Elementary School. He was such a nice person and a grandfather figure to the students there. He tried to instill morals and values to the students there. He was very soft spoken and caring. Coach was so easy to approach and talk to, so kind to offer his wisdom and most appreciated advice. His love for his wife, children and grandchildren was always obvious. I will pray for all of you. God has called his faithful servant home.
