Manny worked for QFC from 1995-2003. In 2003 he went to work for Bartell Drugs, where he spent the last 17 years. He truly loved helping people.

Manny’s greatest passions in life were photography (Deblanc Photography) and learning foreign languages. He learned to speak Castilian, French, Bulgarian, German and recently Sign Language to better communicate with his deaf and hard of hearing friends. He also enjoyed music, reading, traveling, along with spending time with family and friends.

Manny’s Mantra in life was to treat people how he wanted to be treated. He showed respect to all people that came his way. He believed in living life to the fullest, in which he certainly did.
