I will always remember Manush as a deeply good and decent human being. He was a lifelong friend to my late husband Sal who considered him a brother. For many years they met regularly for good food and conversation in their favorite restaurants in the Village, where they were often joined by Manush’s younger brother, Hal. A New Yorker to the core, Manush was a brilliant engineer with a broad range of interests. I will always cherish our tradition of gathering with him and his beautiful family during the holidays for a special festive dinner somewhere in the city. My husband, who had once studied for the priesthood in Rome before becoming a lawyer, often looked to Manush as the living proof that one can live a life at the highest level of ethical standards, yet without need for any of the trappings of religion.
My deepest condolences to Manush’s son Michael and daughter Carolyn.
