In Loving Memory of Thomas (Tom) Manor January 18, 1945 – March 30, 2026

It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas (Tom) Manor, a devoted father, grandfather, and friend, who left us peacefully on March 30, 2026, at the age of 81.

Tom was born in Los Angeles, California, to Merle and Bonnie Manor, joining his beloved sister, Jeannie (“Queenie”). After graduating from high school, Tom proudly served his country in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. Upon returning home, he continued his service as a Merchant Marine before embracing his most cherished roles—that of husband and father.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved sister.

His greatest joy in life was his family. He was a proud father to Zachary (wife Megan), Ethan, Kelli, Aaron, and Timothy Manor, and an adoring grandfather to Ellyna (“Elly Mae”) Manor. He is also survived by his niece, Jonni Kellerman-Simonis; his great-nephew, Aloysius Jonathon-Craig Simonis; and his great-niece, Jacqueline C. Sommers. Tom’s laughter, wisdom, and unwavering support will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Tom will be laid to rest in Lincoln, Nebraska, beside his beloved brother-in-law, Rick. A private family farewell will take place there in July.
