Obituary

Robert M. Manasco Sr., 90, of Columbia, NJ, formerly of New Mexico, passed away surrounded by family. Born in Morristown, New Jersey to the late John and Mary (Pratt) Manasco. He was the first in the family to be born in the United States, after his father and mother immigrated from Spain in the early 1930's. After a brief career in the US Army, being honorably discharged in 1961, Robert moved on to become a career guitarist and musician. His music career is one of his greatest accomplishments; Robert has played with Frankie Valle, Santana, as well as the Four Seasons.

Besides his music career, Robert's other greatest accomplishments are his family, all who are his surviving legacy. He is survived by his five children, Robert Jr. and his wife Sandra, David, Sage, Charles, and Lawerance; eight grandchildren, Jason and his wife Amber and three children, Lucy and her husband Sean and their six children, Megan, Steven, Cathy, Robert III, Jennifer, and Michelle; and one sister Doloris Smith and her husband.

He is predeceased by both spouses, Betty Katheryn in 1990 and Blanca in 2021, as well as a great grandchild in 2007.
