Peter J. Manus Sr., age 90 of Wayne, died peacefully on Friday May 16, 2008 at home with his family.
Peter was born in New York City and moved to Pennsylvania in 1942 to aid in the War effort where he was employed with Brewster Aircraft making planes for the military. He moved to Wayne in 1962. He was employed with Bendix Corp. and later with APS, a division of Gulf & Western. He retired from APS in 1984.
During his retirement, Peter was determined to stay healthy and fit. He joined a gym and enjoyed his time exercising. He and Elizabeth also took some extended family vacations to visit their son Peter Jr. and his family in Utah as well as to Virginia to see their daughter Pam and her family.
He is survived by his wife Elizabeth (nee Watson) to whom he was happily married for sixty-six years, three daughters; Pamela Voll and her husband Gerald of Burke, VA, Donna Burrell and her husband Bob of Morris Plains, NJ, Elizabeth Dockray and her husband Richard of Wayne, and one son; Peter Manus Jr. of Salt Lake City, Utah. Peter has seven grandchildren; Blake and Travis Manus of Wyoming, Eric Voll of Chicago, Nancy Dockray of Manahawkin, NJ, Lisa Lindner and her husband Erik of Manahawkin, NJ, Jason Burrell of East Boston MA, and Megan Ciccolo and her husband Brian of Hanover, MA, and one great-grand daughter; Bella Ciccolo of Hanover, MA.
