All the Bogen people I know held Manny in high regard. He was a man that everyone could tell was forthright, respectful, and a gentle soul. Customers have recalled to me how Manny helped out on site, and how appreciative they were of his interactions with them and their customers. We will miss him dearly and will see him someday again in the afterlife. RIP Manny.
One of the last conversations Mannie and I had included John 3:16-17, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believed in him would not perish but have eternal life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world but through him, the world would be saved." I know where Mannie is, and I will think kindly of Mannie forever. Rest in peace until we meet again brother.
Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Psalm 73:26 “My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.” Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”
Manny not only was a great boss, but a real good friend to me.
