Francis “Larry” Manell, 75, passed away in his home after a long and hard fought battle with cancer on Friday, October 2nd. Francis was born on July 20, 1940, and grew up in Whitehall, NY. Throughout his life, Francis was a true outdoors-man, most content fishing and hunting with family and friends. Francis was very proud of his service in the navy, where he was stationed upon the USS Independence, and his many years of employment as an Engineer for NJ Bell, now Verizon. Francis is survived by his devoted wife Marie and her family; his loving children, daughter Jill McGuire and her husband Elliot of Emerson, NJ, son Larry Manell and his wife Natty of Ridgefield, NJ; six grandchildren, who thought the world of their “larger than life” grandfather, Alexander, Christian, Michael, Aidan, Keira, and Tyler; and many other family and friends.
At that rising of the sun and at its going down, we will remember you; at the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we will remember you; at the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we will remember you; at the turning of the leaves and when they create a carpet rich and beautiful, we will remember you; at the beginning of the year and when it ends, we will remember you; when we are weary and in need of strength, we will remember you; when we are lost and sick at heart, we will remember you; when we have joy and wish to share it, we will remember you; when we have decisions that are difficult to make, we will remember you; when we have achievements that are based on yours, we will remember you. For you are with us as we remember you, always. We love you, dad
Thinking of all of you with love. You are in Our thoughts and prayers.
im sure you already have a line in the water, Pop.
