Away from work, Manny was a long-time member of the YMCA and Mohawk Golf Club and an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing, sailing, and skiing at Hickory Hill, where he was a stockholder and where he taught his three children to ski.

He was also a long-time communicant of St. Helen’s Church (now St. Katerii Tekakwitha) where the Daycare Center is named in his honor. Manuel was also an active member of church in Palmas Del Mar, Puerto Rico where he donated the beautiful stations of the cross.

The Lions Club was a big part of his life: he joined it in 1965 and made many lifelong friends, receiving many awards, including the Melvin Jones Award; the 50-year Chevron of Continuous

Membership in 2015; and the Lifetime Membership Award. He was also a past president of the Lions Club and former district governor.
