I was so sorry to hear of "Eli's" transitioning. We were coworkers in the early 90s at Cates Pickle Plant. A many a laughs were shared in the Rod house and riding in that Cherokee.....the good old days. Rest easy my friend

Poochie, you will be missed. I remember all the cards that you would bring to us every year because you wanted to make sure you wished us a Merry Christmas. We would always chi chat a little then you would be on your way. We love and miss you. RIP.


To the Manley Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss.
Ada "Tiny" Jones and the Jones Family

I will miss your voice and laughter the way it would wake me up as a kid on Saturday mornings. The loudness of my Dad and his brothers (you and Uncle Earl) voices echoing throughout the house meant there was a DIY project in the works. The day I saw you at hospital and your voice was gone and your laughter was replaced by tears is the day I know my Uncle will never be the same. I knew you wouldn't want to be in a body you no longer knew and it was all in your face the last time I saw you. God didn't want that for you either. He knows best. No more pain nor tears. You now got you voice and laughter back. I will miss you Uncle Poochie.
