Our condolences, may cherished memories bring you moments of comfort.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your Dad. I worked with Manny at the Andrew Muller Primary School from 1984-1988. At the time Mr Daly was the Principal. Manny was the most kind and considerate individual that I have ever had the pleasure to have known. He had a very special way with the children and the staff. He will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
