Throughout his life, Manuel found joy in the simplest of pleasures. Whether it was fishing by the serene, immersing himself in the melodies of music, or simply basking in the warmth of his beloved family’s company, he cherished every moment.

One of Manuel’s greatest joys was undoubtedly spending time with his grandchildren, showing off his latest trinkets, and creating precious memories that will forever be treasured. His vibrant personality touched the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
