Dear Judie and all the members of the Perez family - My mom told me of Manuel's passing and we talked about all of the memories . . . there are so many since mom went to kindergarten with him, my dad and the "Industry" Guys, the P Hill parties, Dan working while going to Cal Poly, and Matthew playing with the boys when they were little with the giant Tinker Toys (which he still remembers). We are glad you had him for these many years.  Happy Memories and thoughts and prayers . . .
Renee Rowland LeBas Guastaferro and the LeBas family in New Mexico!

My deepest regards,
Sending many prayers your family's way.

Mr. Perez was a great man and I am glad I have had the honor of getting to know him and his family.  I enjoyed his visits to our department.  His breadth of knowledge and understanding taught me something with every visit.

Dear Perez Family,
My deepest condolences to you.

From the moment I met Manny and his family decades ago, I felt a kinship and bond. The story of the true American Dream that is Manny Perez cannot be described in words, only in one's heart. Knowing how hard Manny worked in concert with his family, and watching him grow his business has always been an inspiration to my brother and I. Some of my fondest memories are of sitting with the brothers Perez "talking trash" and figuring out how best to survive in such a volatile industry. We had many laughs and as many tears lamenting about our forefathers sacrifices and what it took then and now to stay on top of this Vida Loca known as the environmental business. Looking back, Manny and his family were "Green" before it became a household word. In the early days, recycling meant having a few extra dollars to send your kids to college, or buy a home, or make some other significant investment in the future. Well, that is what Manny did, better than his peers, setting a standard of perfection, excellence, and customer service that is unmatched to this day! Manny's legacy of creativity and innovation will live on forever. His Brother Dave and the rest of the family will proudly carry the torch that Manny lit and he will smile upon them as they do!
It is a privilege to call Manny a friend, forever.
May God Bless You Mi Hermano.
Te Admiro!

From the entire PC Scale & AMCS Family - we are saddened by Manny's passing. He was a wonderful man and we enjoyed working with him over the years very much. He will be missed dearly. Thinking of his family during this very difficult time.

My heart aches with the loss I feel.  Manuel was a great man, an awesome boss and a dear friend. Words can not express how much he was loved or how much he will be missed. I will not say "goodbye", but I will say "see you later".

Manuel left us way too soon. Working under him these past years I can attest to his enjoyment in a lively discussion on any variety of subjects. Always with a well thought out opinion to present he challenged everyone to try to keep up. His laser like focus on improving the company and the lives of those associated with it could be the subject of a book on business best practices. Dedication to his family was the centerpoint of his life and never absent from his attention. Manuel will be sorely missed by us all.

Dear Members of the Perez Family,
We want to extend our sincere sympathy to all of you during this difficult time.  Manuel was one of a kind - talkative, impassioned, opinionated and a wonderful friend.  We will truly miss his lively discussions, his mischievous smile and the twinkle in his eyes.  Our thoughts are with you.
With Love and Sympathy, 
          Deidre, Joe, Trenton and Tyler Vail

 You have touched many lives, and many hearts. You will be greatly missed by all.

To the Perez Family

We are saddened by Manuel's passing. We feel like Manuel's death is something historic in the sense that we don't think Manuel's life path can be duplicated at this point and time. His boyhood to manhood to Big manhood made him truly  a man of his times. We're not sure that same slice of America still exists. A beautiful and loving wife, he married the cheerleader for goodness sakes, a big family...much to be proud of. Most of his life he lived on his own terms and it doesn't get any better than that. We're saddened by Manuel's passing, but our grief is for Judie who is surely the great woman behind the man and for his boys and their growing families that will have to carry on without Manuel's force present in their lives. Godspeed Manuel.

Love and Light,
Sheila Kay & John

I will always remember your laugh and jokes. You are so missed! My heart feels so sad. To an extraordinary man, who helped so many people. May you rest in paradise, Mr. P.

One of the many things I will always fondly remember about Manny when I think of him, was the love he had for his family and his "roots." My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his loved ones for the loss of a wonderful man.


"Heroes are never perfect, but they're brave, they're authentic, they're courageous, determined, discreet, and they've got grit." This is the Manuel I knew who was so loved & respected.

Manuel V. Perez was a terrific member of our family for over 50 years...and, in all that time, I never won an argument with him!  I have to admit he was a worthy, and honored opponent who just happened to be of the opposite political party.  We are thankful for the rich memories that remain with us always, and thankful that his sons inherited his business acumen along with their Dad's sense of humor.  We are so proud to have had such a special man in our family..

What a wonderful Life, filled with great memories of his precious and loving family!!!  He has truly blessed everyone with his wit, wisdom, and smiles.  He will be missed, but long remembered.  To Judy and Family may the Lord Bless you all, give you comfort for your loss.  May he cover you with his unending Love.  May he give you P E A C E.   Our Love to You All  
E.J. and Betty Burnett
