Generosity must be a Manby family mission. Bill was so generous with his time and talent. And Bill’s family was generous to share him-especially these past few years. Bill’s love of his family was always front and center – as was his integrity, his kind soul and wise ways. Bill, your courage, optimistic attitude and chuckle will be a guiding light forever. May God bless you all.

Manby family, my thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I hope you all find peace and I know that Bill lived a great life with all your love!

"Bill you will be missed so much. Who will help me sort out the Diamondbacks for next year? Our trip to Chase field will always be a favorite memory. You have shown so many how to live each day to the fullest with your wonderful smile and humor. Love, Dick and Carole

Dear Chaz and girls,
Your husband and father was an amazing friend to our family. Through difficult times he was always there for us, and would "check up" on us
every so often, we will miss him, his kindness and gentleness. Always know that we will be here for you all - you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, the Taylor's.

Thinking back on the time I spent at the Manby home in my teens, the word that immediately comes to mind when I think of Bill is "gentle". What a kind man and doting father. Leaving a legacy of 4 bright, compassionate and independent women, Bill's life will continue to have a ripple of good touching so many. Sending all my love to Chaz, Nikki, Teri, Jodi and Lori. xoxo Tiffany

I remember how nervous I was the first time Mr. Manby and I facetimed… He was such a wonderful and smart man who made me feel completely at ease. I am praying for your family and you are in my thoughts constantly… I am sorry for your tremendous loss, Patrick Snyder

Although I did not know Bill, I know his daughter, Niki, very well. I can only imagine that he must have been an amazing person to have contributed to the beautiful woman that his daughter is today. My heart and thoughts go out to the entire Manby family.

Thinking of you all during this time and sending strength and hugs your way. xoxo Shira

Tez and family. My deepest sympathy and love goes out to you all. X

Bill it was a pleasure to meet you. You will be sorely missed by friends and family, though you have left a magnificent legacy of four wonderful daughters. Our thoughts go out to your family at this sad time. Love Will, Leah, Hugh and Zoe Ellis.

Whenever I met Bill at the mailbox I was struck by what a pleasant and gentle man he was in the face of great challenges. Chuck had the opportunity to play golf with Bill on many occasions and said that Bill was a true gentleman and also could hit the ball down the middle. Our condolences to the entire family for your loss.

May you hold onto each other tight for strength In these next days .When you love someone and they suffer, you suffer with them .

I did not have the honor of meeting Mr. Manby, but through my dear friend Niki I've come to know a man who no doubt had a very loving and profound influence on his family and friends that will forever be held in their hearts. My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Manby family. God bless and rest in peace Mr. Manby.

Chaz and girls: It's difficult to find words for your grievous loss. Bill's life was a gift to everyone who had the good fortune to know him. I hope the myriad of memories of the wonderful life you shared together will help cushion the sadness of his death. His passing leaves a hole in the fabric of your lives. Mark and I send loving thoughts to each of your and your extended.

Chaz,
Our hearts go out to you and your family during this sad and difficult time. I know during his illness how you enjoyed making him comfort food like the cherry pie he loved so much.
May the fond memories of your life together offer strength and peace in the coming days.

Bill you fought the good fight. You could do no more. Your true smile and love of life and family will be missed. Chaz my heart is with you and I know there is nothing I can say that would make it better. Just know he is with GOD now and is looking after you wanting you to regain your smile and love of life. Love, Bonny and Kiyo

Bill your leaving us makes me sad but for all the great times since living here in Festival and playing golf with you, I will miss you tremendously. A kind and gentle man with never a complaint about anything or anyone. I know God has shed a wonderful light on your arrival in heaven.

Manby family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bill, your will is carried on through a great group of children which I am proud to be related. I know our family has a lot of good memories during special events and know the world is a better place for having the 70 years with you in it. You fought a difficult fight in this world and now it is time to rest easy and enjoy eternity.

Manby family: Heartfelt sympathy and sorrow to you all as you go through this time of grief. Bill was one of those extraordinary people who will never be forgotten. Playing golf with Bill was truly enjoyable. His smile lit up my life, and I have and will continue to miss him, but we will go on the best we can, and look forward to the time we see him again. Bill's friend Charlie.

Dearest Chaz & family~~our deepest sympathy for the loss of your loving husband & father, Bill. We never had the privilege of meeting Bill but we felt like we knew him well through Joyce & Terry. He sounds like he was a wonderful man & we share your grief in the loss of him. We send all our love & prayers to you during this difficult time. God Bless you always!

Bill guided my partner and I through two start-up businesses over the 12 years we have known him. A true friend, mentor and colleague we will miss him. I am paying his guidance forward by participating in the Univ. of Denver's Executive Mentor program, guiding the newest of graduates towards their careers.
