My heart is filled with sadness ! My years of working with Jim was filled with his story telling , his corny jokes and his wonderful friendship! I have so many memories of this special man and I am so glad he was part of my life ❤️

Dearest Mary Jo and family of Jim Manos: we are in great sympathy for your loss of this most beloved husband, father and grandfather. May he live on with many happy memories. We send our love and comfort as you go through this most difficult time. Love, Janet and Warren Smith
I’m so saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. His relationship with MaryJo and his children and grandchildren offered the perfect role model of true love and devotion. Knowing him since high school was a privilege, and despite not seeing him often, he always shared his welcome and friendship. I will miss him and offer my heartfelt condolences to his family and to all who knew and loved him.
Rest in peace Jim. Fond memories of a very kind childhood friend, and his wonderful family on Winspear Ave.
Hi, I’m Jim’s next-door neighbor, Louise. What I’m going to miss about Jim is hearing his lawnmower going. I would say, “Oh, Jim’s out there.” Another thing I’m going to miss is Jim telling me, “More lights, Louise—you should call the town and see if you can get the sidewalks lit up.”
I’m also going to miss him telling me, “You are a good person, Louise, and stay that way.”
Jim is an angel now. We all have to make that appointment someday—we’ll see him on the other side. God bless you, Mary, and your family
I am sorry for your loss. God blessed me with Jim’s presence for many years at work and outdoors with golf club in hand.
May he rest in peace.
Jim was a gem of a man. You will be fondly remembered for your love, kindness, Greek and family pride. You loved Mary Jo and your family with every ounce of your being. You were respected and respectful. You were witty and wise. You were calm and courageous. You were positive and happy. I will never forget your smile and your signature moustache!!!!! Rest in peace cousin.
To Mary Jo and the girls…. sending you (((hugs)))
