Jim & Tim,
The Marshall/Creswell clan is thinking of you as you lay your dad to rest today. Our families shared many a fun time together way-back-when in Monmouth. Many good memories playing in the Manse, Camps Youngquist and Wiggins!

Jim, Tim and families, It was just a few days ago I was remembering your parents and you "boys", back in the day when we were all at St. Andrews in Butler. I have only the fondest memories of you all and pray you find much peace and comfort through your faith in these days mourning the loss of your father. With fond remembrances, Barbara Graham Miller for the John and Betty Graham girls

Larry and I grew up with Dr. Manor as our pastor at St Andrews Church in Butler, PA. We were fortunate enough to visit with Dr Manor and Ann in Lakeland. He was also the first Interim pastor at Bloomingdale Presbyterian Church in Brandon when the church was founded.and where we now attend. He will be greatly missed by us because of his wisdom and teaching . He and Ann were good friends with Larry's family.

We are so sorry for your loss. Rest In Peace faithful servant.

Jim was a great colleague in the Synod of the Trinity some years ago. We reconnected in Florida a few years ago. He had a good ministry before and after retirement.

I knew Jim Manor through Presbytery when I was at the Presbytery's Resource Center - some 20 years! He was one of my all time favorite pastors, always gracious, kind, courteous - a true gentleman with integrity and a sense of humor and much wisdom. It was just a joy to know him, and to be around him. Jim, I imagine you are having a great time renewing acquaintance with so very many friends, family members, past parishioners, and admirers! I am among many who thank the Lord for your ministry, and for the privilege of knowing you.

One of the biggest blessings in my life was to know Jim Manor and to know him as my mentor/pastor/friend as I served as the pastor of Florida Presbyterian Homes. I will miss his wisdom, guidance and encouragement. I will joyfully remember his laugh and his love of the Lord and all God's people.

Dr. Manor was a bright light in this world. He was a great comfort to my sister and me after the unexpected death of our mother 24 years ago. He also stepped in as the interim pastor and conducted a beautiful funeral service for our mother, a challenging feat since he had never met her. He continued to keep in touch with me for quite a while and was a true friend. May his star continue to shine in his new life.
