  1. Yvonne and Family,
    I am so sorry to learn of Kevin’s passing and for your loss. I hope that the fond memories bring you all peace and comfort during this difficult time. Kevin’s good humor and big smile always brightened up our day and will be missed dearly. Sincerely Andy Orazio. Y CEO

  2. I had the privilege to come into the Electrical world with Kevin. What a stand up guy and proud brother of the IBEW . His inspiration to myself and many others was immeasurable. He could turn an unpleasant situation into a manageable and bonding moment. I sit here reading the journal frozen with sadness . My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  3. Endlessly grateful to this man. When I met his eldest daughter, the love of my life, he ingratiated me into his family as one of his own. He guided me through my career to be a local 12 plumber, through immigration processes to be a US citizen and was always a steady flow of sound advice. I watched and admired over the years how he unselfishly helped countless people with his big heart, reversing peoples fortunes in so many cases. He always learned about your interests so he could chat about it. In the end he was a Dubs fan (GAA), Liverpool fan and a rugby fan. His out of this world character always kept the dullness from life. He showed endless love to his grandkids. He held, squeezed and spoiled them. For this I am most grateful. He was our world which has collapsed now but we will rebuild in his liking. A true Irishman. An American patriot. A loving father and grandfather. I loved the bones of this man. I can never repay him but he’d want me to pay it forward anyway.

  6. Kevin was the best man at my wedding. As my bride was about to walk down the aisle, he poked me and said “Now watch this. It’s the most beautiful site you will ever see!” Thank you my friend! Godspeed on your journey to heaven. Make sure there are a couple of cold ones in the fridge when we meet again…

  7. Our sincere condolences to the Manning family. We will miss Kevin yelling his famous “NO WAKE” in the river. We will miss hearing him being upset at his favorite Bostons teams losing when i’m outside on the deck at my house next door, i would giggle and say oh Red Sox are not doing good…..
    We will miss the friendly waves and his smiling face passing by in our vehicles.
    Just won’t be the same without Kevin on the lane.
    We are heartbroken to hear of his passing. Our Love and Prayers to Yvonne, his children, grandchildren and chewy. ❤️
