My father was FULL of life!! And anyone who knows him as heard a joke (or two or three). I would love to remember the GOOD and the FUN of my father, and he would have it no other way. It would mean a lot to me if people would share a funny Manny story, re-tell one of your favorite jokes of his, add a funny photo.... Pick a fun way to remember him. He does not want people to dwell on sadness, but would want to be remembered as the boisterous personality he was. Please think of whatever about him makes you smile and share it :-) Make it as ridiculous or inappropriate as you'd like- make him proud.

Manny would post squirrel pictures to my page.. he also had a pet squirrel he would feed but this was my favorite.. and he did call us before taking his last breath.. he’s in our hearts forever.

They're leaving town (retiring) and traveling the country in their mobile coach. Yup, lots of folks say they're going to do the exact same thing but these guys are living their dreams and I wish them safe travels and lots of ventures. Friends like the Norton's don't come around in our lifetimes too often, they are treasures. They're down-to-earth, caring, intelligent, funny, nuts, great cooks (both of them) and friends till the end. Gonna miss those home cooked meals of David's "Comfort Foods" and Jane's desserts, yummy and all our chats at their house and motor coach. I'll keep you both in my prayers for safe traveling, happy times and all your decisions (which are always so well planned). Also, thanks for the many favors you both did for me that were unpaid in return. I didn't keep score but know that I was way ahead of the count. Damn it, I miss you already. Bye... less
So many thing! From when we lived in Warwick, NY - my sweet neighbor Manny kept us grounded when 9/11 happened. Always could count on him.
My kids thought he was so cool because he dressed up his cat for “church” on Sunday.

When he made hot wings he always made extra for my youngest daughter who was 3 at the time, she loved his wings!
When our Santa Claus bailed for the community center party Manny stepped in. He rode up on his Harley and my kids shouted it’s “Manny Claus”!!! Our first Puerto Rican Claus!
He used to come over before the mail was delivered and bring his fart machine toy and we would annoy the postman through the open window and laugh so hard!!!
We moved and later on he moved and then much later on we moved again, to SoCal. We didn’t live nearby but had hoped to see him when we were out of school since he really could travel over here. I’m sorry the time slipped away.
He was kind and funny and his life was all Lori, he was so proud of her accomplishments. less
He was so fun to hang out with.
First time I met him at thanksgiving at Mark & Pat's place. He took a napkin and a pen and started drawing . He said a teacher asked students to draw something they saw and wouldn't forget last summer.

First time I met him at thanksgiving at Mark & Pat's place. He took a napkin and a pen and started drawing . He said a teacher asked students to draw something they saw and wouldn't forget last summer.
A student started drawing an upside down V. Teacher says nice mountain. Student then draws a curvy line close to the top of the upside-down V. teacher says oh there is snow on the peak.
Then he draws a circle with some lines around it on top of V. Teacher says nice sun. Did you go to mountains last summer?
Student replies: no I did not. This is the view I had when my grandpa bent over to pick up the soap in the shower. less

He was such a fun host and he broke out the Puerto Rican music and instruments. He showed me all of his Hard Rock memorabilia. Later on we sent him a "Show me your Kitties" shirt. I loved his sense of humor... It definitely runs in the family. He was loved and will be missed. Sending hugs and love your way. less
Your dad was so mother-effin charming and funny that he convinced me to issue him a crotch docker number...breaking every rule...and is still the only nonskydiving crotch docker! Now that's a cool ass dad!! You are very lucky to have that kind of dad!!
I remember one of our doggy date days I came over and he was there, and he generously drew me a picture of a mountain peak and a sun directly over it… I believe he said, “The sun is shining where the sun don’t shine”… I’ll leave it at that... moreI remember one of our doggy date days I came over and he was there, and he generously drew me a picture of a mountain peak and a sun directly over it… I believe he said, “The sun is shining where the sun don’t shine”… I’ll leave it at that without posting the picture 😆😂
