Our deepest condolences to Bea and all Manuel's family. We have lost a truly beautiful man, both inside and out. I had the pleasure of working with Manuel at Saftways. Because of his big heart he helped me climb the latter and furthering my position with Safway.
Never would you see him without a smile, concern for my family.
Manuel and Bea made a beautiful couple who showed us true love.
He will be missed . I pray the Lord will comfort you during this difficult time. My prayers will always be with all the family. Rest in peace my good friend. GOD BLESS you Bea and all your family.
Bea Squires Maes and family

Marcos And Sarah Gonzales published a tribute .

Dear Tio Manuel,
Thank you for being my Tio. Thank you for always being a kind, caring and loving person. Your ability to hone into a person and make them feel as if the rest of the world didn’t matter was uncanny. You made everyone you came across feel special.

You were my barber, butcher, bus driver, and most of all my uncle. I truly enjoyed our afternoon bus rides, where we would talk politics. I especially liked it when we stopped by your house and Tia Bea would make us lunch.

Sarah and I will miss you. We will miss your presence, but you will live forever in our thoughts. This isn’t goodbye, just until next time.

Love,
Marcos and Sarah
