May you rest in peace and I will never forget my driving lessons with you, signed Crash Crain and my condolences to the family, he was a nice and wonderful person!
Dear sympathies from the Sheary Family to all the Mannings. We have fond memories of Mr Manning( my home room teacher who was always busting my chops for being late) a good friend to my parents in Florida and a funny fellow! Thanks for the great Roxbury friendship, and may you find comfort in knowing he brought a smile to many. RIP Mr. M đȘ
I had Mr. Manning as my teacher in 6th grade, as well as for home room. He was a great teacher, and from what I knew of him, a wonderful husband, father and friend. During the last few weeks of 6th grade, I wasnât able to attend a special day when the students performed - I had a horrific case of poison ivy. Mr. Manning checked in on me when with my Mom, and when I returned, he had me âperformâ - I sang âSmile... â. After I finished, he praised me over and over again. Kids donât forget such kindness, and he was kind and caring to everyone! He was the BEST and I will always remember him.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family. Mr. Manning was a wonderful man and neighbor for the years you all lived on Richards Avenue in Succasunna. I told my mom (Diane Stalter) of your dad's passing and she wishes to also pass on her thoughts and prayers. I can remember neighborhood parties and picnics on Richards Avenue, with all of the men sampling the "keg" starting early in the morning. Your dad was a great teacher and he will be missed.

I remember the first I met your family. Bill and I drove to New Jersey from Texas. Your dad, in a nice/funny way, made fun of the way I talked. He tried so hard not to break out laughing when I ran into the sliding glass door. I thought it was open. Lol. Nearly broke my nose. I remember Ocean City where I almost got spanked for...... do yâall remember? Lol. I visited him in the nursing home and he remembered me. Made my heart smile. He was a good man and Iâm happy he is with your Mom again. The 2 of them raised some amazing kids. Love you all! Shelia
