Manuel Antonio Nuñez, a devoted family man, passed away peacefully on March 7, 2025, at the Lord Chamberlain Center in Stratford, Connecticut. He was 76 years old. Born on May 27, 1948, in the Dominican Republic, Manuel brought warmth and kindness into the lives of everyone he met.
Manuel was not just a skilled professional who dedicated his career to a printing company in New Jersey; he was a proper gentleman whose charitable spirit knew no bounds. He often opened his heart and home to those in need, always offering assistance and support. His legacy is one of compassion and generosity, traits that endeared him to many and that will long be remembered by those fortunate enough to have known him.
His proudest accomplishment was being a father to his adoring sons, Felix, Jose Manuel, Jovanni, and Anthony. There was no greater joy in his life than spending time with them and watching them grow into the men they are today. His six grandchildren were a source of immense pride and happiness for him, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Manuel's presence will be deeply missed by his devoted wife, Hilma Polanco, who stood by his side through thick and thin. He built a beautiful family, united in love and respect for one another. His departure leaves a void that can never be filled, yet the love and lessons he imparted will resonate in their hearts forever.
He is predeceased by his parents, Jose Manuel Rodriguez and Maria M. Nuñez, and his son Ambiorix whose values and principles shaped the man he became. Their memory lives on within him and through the family he so lovingly nurtured.
Friends and family are invited to celebrate Manuel's life during the following services: a viewing at Funeraria Luz De Paz in Bridgeport, CT, on Friday, March 14, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and on Saturday, March 15, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM.
