My only brother and loving brother, was in alot of little league and as a family we always had to have A & W Rootbeer after games. When he got excited he has his own way of showing it with his arms up to his sides with a big excited smile he loved his sports. Will miss him so much.

The one story I will always remember about Manny was playing softball at Eastmoreland--playing in the outfield next to Manny, a ball was hit between us. Manny had a bead on it. Manny, the ball, the fence and the light pole just on the other side of the fence all came together at once. Manny hit everything on the deadrun and he bounced back, landed on his back, out cold---with the ball in his mitt. That was Manny--always gave his best.

To My loving Brother. I am so thankful that I was at your side the last three and a half weeks of you life. It is still hard to believe that you are gone. You will be in our Hearts forever and even more so that you left us on "Valentine's Day". You will be so greatly missed by many. On that last day you were surrounded by all you family members who loved you so very much. Good bye my Brother I love you! "Punkin"

Dad you where the most amazing person I knew. You were loving and protective of my well being and I LOVE YOU for that. You taught me so much about life and how to be the father that I have become to my son today. You changed my life in many ways that you maybe never knew that you did. You showed me how to care and how to love others with such real compassion and heart. You showed me

You taught me so much about life and how to be the father that I have become to my son today. You changed my life in many ways that you maybe never knew that you did. You showed me how to care and how to love others with such real compassion and heart. You showed me how to be strong in the most toughest and roughest trials and tribulations of life and with that I would not be where I am today. I thank you Dad for everything you have ever did for Myself and Jesse even if at times it was tough love, We know in our hearts you where just looking out for our best interest. I was so thankful to be by your side holding your hand when you left us. I know God has plans for you and you are looking down upon us right now through his grace. I LOVE YOU DAD!! I MISS YOU!! AND I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET YOU POPS!! You will always be in my heart and prayers. This is not good bye, This is ill see you later. Your Son, Justin Duarte

I first met Manny in 1977 when I went to work for DrPepper bottling co We shared a lot of good times together there then we went to pepsi-cola Manny was a grat friend and awsome co-worker I will miss you my friend thank god I had the chance to be your friend I will think of you often mostly when Im drinking a Dr Pepper we will meet again Your Buddy George Jackson

Manny, You're a special guy! You shared your passion and love for life with everyone you came in contact with and it was contagious. When you and some of the guys talked me into coming to work for Pepsi/Dr Pepper it wasn't for my ability to run a route truck, it so we could play softball together. And that we did. The fun, craziness, sharing that competitiveness spirit for competition, winning the NW industrial league regional by beating the Seattle

The fun, craziness, sharing that competitiveness spirit for competition, winning the NW industrial league regional by beating the Seattle Police and going to the Nationals will never be forgot. In thinking of craziness and the era of disco watching you "cut a rug" at some of our local haunts was hilarious. My friend, you've gone to a better place but will not be forgot. I'll never say go bye, but I'll see you later on the ball field in the ski and we'll pick up together on the game we love. Until then...I miss you. Love man, TEE WISE
