Doctor McManus delivered my daughter in St. Anthony's Hospital in 1974, and my son in 1976. He was a wonderful person, and Doctor. I went to him for thirty years. My condolances to his family. May he RIP.

My deepest condolences to you all. I was blessed to have the opportunity to spend time with Doc and get to know him. He was a gifted artist and I loved the time we spent talking about art and discussing his paintings and woodworking projects. He will always hold a special place in my heart.
