Mannie loved his life on Mount Street. He loved talking to his neighbors, telling them to "just tell the man to deliver your packages to my house, I got you." Mannie was giving and loving to all that came near, lending an ear to anyone that asked for his advice, and giving money because he thought he was rich. But you had to pay back with interest.

Mannie, you will remain in the hearts of so many.
