Manny was an incredible human being. He had a deep faith, a great sense of humour and lived life always helping those in need. He was a great friend to my Dad, a fellow usher at All Saints Church and with my mom, who also attended daily morning mass. More than friend, he was family and often joined in our family celebrations. During my Dad’s illness and death, Manny was such a great support for my mom, my sisters and I. And last year, when mom died, he once again prayed with us and gave us strength. The world is a sadder place now without Manny in it. The Betro girls, as he liked to call us, will always be grateful for his presence in our lives. To Christopher, Tina, Aiden and Joshua, I offer my sincerest condolences. Know that he often spoke of you when he was with us and his love and pride for you was so evident.
Rest In Peace, Manny. You were one of a kind and will be sorely missed.
God bless you uncle manny and many prayers for my cousin Christopher and his family 🙏
Wow a true child of God! He was always Evangelizing and spreading Joy !!!!
Always helping those in need and being there as a friend . The event or celebration was complete when Manny showed up.
Love Mariangela and Nick
Wishing you and the family our deepest condolences. Please know our prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Uncle Manny... a constant figure in my life. I remember him saying that the first time he met me I was in diapers; he was like a 2nd father to me. I hold dear so many treasured memories: record hunting at Sam the Record Man, shopping the deals at Honest Eds, western movie nights, his Ford Fairlane 500 with the 8-track stereo (he was so the man!), trips to New Brunswick, Euchre ("never let it pass you by Allan!"), seeing Charlie Pride with him in 2014, or was it 2015?
Everyone who met him embraced him. He was one of a kind: genuine, true, honest, joyful... undoubtedly there was a saintly quality about him.
Thank you Uncle Manny for your contribution to the molding of my heart. I will say that I am a better man because of you in my life. Love always, Allan
