Manuel Manny Torres-Rios

on Friday, May 1. He was born in San Juan,

Puerto Rico and served 28 years in the U.S.

Army. A long-time resident of Seaside, over

the years, Manny enjoyed fishing, fixing

classic cars, landscaping and for 30-plus

years, tending bar at the local establishment,

The Shadow Box. He often referred to

himself as the "Jack of all trades, master of

some". To him, no job was too small.

Manny was a friend to many and will be dearly

missed by his family. He is survived by

his wife of 49 years, Chun Cha Torres;

daughters, Alyssa Torres and Judy Sager;

son-in-law, Tom Sager; grandchildren, Valerie,

Stephanie and Tommie; great-granddaughters,

Kylee and Jaelynn; 5 remaining siblings; and

his devoted dog, Tito. Services will be held

at Bayside Community Mortuary

(1610 Noche Buena St., Seaside) on

Friday, May 8: viewing at 2 p.m. and prayer

service at 4 p.m. followed by a military

service. Since Manny would want

celebrating, not tears, a celebration of his life

will take place later, so please join us on

Saturday afternoon, May 30 at The Shadow

Box (1904 Fremont St., Seaside).
