James McManus Obituary

I miss my good friend.

I miss one of my best and oldest friend-RIP

Jim was a great guy and a lot of fun. He was meticulous and specific for sure. His dear friend Phil Shepherd passed away earlier this year. I am sure they are together right now. They are both greatly missed!

Loved that guy !!

I offered Mass for Jim some time ago, when I heard. God bless and console the family.

Jim will always have a special place in my heart. The sunshine, fun and laughter Jim brought to our lives could fill a great book. Jim was a true gentleman. We loved him dearly. With his passing there is a little less light in our lives.

I offer my deepest sympathy and prayers for Jim and his family. I met Jim through mutual acquaintances in Dallas and he was always such a joy to be around.

I was so sorry to hear this about my good friend.We had some of the funniest times boating here in Dallas , having a drink or two and working together on many projects realted to Real Estate...My prayers go out to the family and God Bless-Tom Reif (Dallas Texas)

Jim was a very special friend. He always brought fun and laughter into our home(s) in Phoenix and in Dallas. Our kids, Mickey and Julee, loved to listen to Jim's funny stories, even though some of them were about their parents! Jim was a part of our family and he will forever have a special place in our hearts.

To the Family,
I knew and worked with Jim here in Dallas. He always made me laugh with his wonderful sense of humor. Jim was indeed one of a kind and I will miss him. You all will be in my prayers tonight
P S Since today is St. Patrick's Day I'll lift a glass to Jim, the best Irishman I have ever known.

Marjorie, I know how hard it was to watch your brother suffer for so long. May God hold him in His arms now and forever. May God give you the strength during this time and help you remember all the happy times of his life. My prayers are with you and your family .

Marjorie - my deepest sympathy in the passing of your brother. I hope the Mass this morning brought you great comfort. I have missed you over the winter. Hope to see you soon. God Bless You. Dannie Manning

I will miss Jim. He had great spirit and thoughtfullness. I enjoyed getting to work with him on some projects here in Dallas. He had many friends from all over the country. When he got sick it was inspirational how his family rallied around Jim and the help that gave him was invaluable. Several years ago he confided to me and others that what he really missed the most and was working on getting back was a boat down in Floridia. Maybe he is on a boat somewhere now. He also loved his time in the Navy and he loved to read. He will be missed.

Jimmy McManus and I went to school together from 1st grade thru 8th grade, then later thru 4 years at HC. His sense of humor was well developed even early in grade school and only improved as he matured. I regret not staying in touch as he worked in the "awl bidnez" (his words).

I am so proud to be Jim's cousin. We certainly had many good times growing up in Brooklyn and Breezy Point. I could tell many stories and they would all be positive. He'll be truly missed. Kevin McManus

Very Sad...................Here's remembering a one of kind character who brought lots of laughter and humor into everyone's world. I will always remember that gap btwn his front teeth framed by a wide smile.

I will offer Mass for Jim noon tomorrow at All Saints, Pasadena, CA. He was a loyal Crusader Class of '62 and a great classmate. Requiescat in pace!

I am truly sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Like Bill, I also served in Vietnam in US Navy as a Lieut. I salute his swervice to our country. I mourn his passing. Charles Stark.

Jim was my friend. He brought joy to me and my family. We will miss him. My condolences go to all his family.

He and the entire McManus family will be in my prayers.
