Manuel worked as a farmer and retired after 30 at Delta Islands. After retirement he then went to work for San Joaquin County as a maintenance man and retired after 10 years of service. In his spare time he loved gardening and would continue to garden from his wheelchair as he grew older. Manuel was baptized and served as a Jehovah Witness for 42 years. Always laughing and with many jokes to tell, Manuel was known for his sense of humor and how he always made life enjoyable. He loved spending as much time as he could with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Manuel’s smile and zest for life will be missed.
