    Manny was a friend of mine (we played on the same softball team). Manny was a great guy, an amazing story teller, and had such an engaging personality that we all thought he was going to be Mayor someday. A terrible loss.

    Please folks, go buy a bunch of flowers and leave them at the firehouse, you have no idea how much the guys appreciate it. I can see my pink roses in that pic, they need company. Lots of company.
