Manny, Ramona and their sons enjoyed taking trips to Mexico and California over the years. He also took many trips to the casino and loved spending time at the slot machines. Manny kept himself busy around the house by taking excellent care of his yard and looked forward to the Spring so he could watch his beloved New York Yankees.
