Born in Jamaica Plain, MA and raised in Dedham, MA, Bob was a long-time resident of Franklin, MA before retiring to Naples, FL to enjoy his favorite pastime of year-round golf.
In between, Bob, along his loving wife Linda, raised two sons, excelled as a long-time sales representative for Garelick Farms, and cheered on his alma mater, Boston College, and every other Boston sports team as well.
In addition to his beloved wife of 53 years, Linda (Pike) Manning, he leaves behind his children Michael and Theresa (Avino) and Keith and Regina (DeFlora), along with four incredible grandchildren: Ryan, Morgan, Daniel and Emma.
Bob will also be missed by his cherished brother William H. Manning, Jr. and his wife Nancy, sister Mary Anne Ray and her husband Michael, sister-in-law Donna Manning, and many nieces, nephews, and friends. Bob was predeceased by his dear sister Jane McGlame and treasured brother John E. Manning.
A celebration of life will be held at a future date. In memory of Bob, donations can also be made to www.jimmyfund.org
