MANES, Hyman, 91 years old, passed away on Monday, May 16.

After surviving the Holocaust, they married in 1945 and emigrated to the United States alone with their first child at the end of 1949. With strength and determination, he, along with his wife, overcame every obstacle and challenge presented, and together they created an extremely close-knit, loving family which was his greatest pride and joy. His optimism and humor brightened every situation, as did his singing at every family occasion. He left an indelible mark on everybody he met. His love and spirit will live on eternally in our hearts.
