Loving Father and Brother
Emanuel “Manny” T. Gonsalves, 59, of Belleville, passed away on January 30, 2022. Born and raised in Belleville, he was the son of the late Manuel and Joyce (Saarloos) Gonsalves. Manny was a handyman that could fix anything from cars to carpentry. Everyone knew that he could figure out any job.
He is survived by his children Emanuel and Skylar, ex-wife and lifelong friend Dawn Opizzi, sister Joyceann Damiano and her husband Domenic, sister Denise Nasisi and her husband Jack and many nieces and nephews.
He loved telling stories and having a good laugh with family and friends. If you needed a hand, Manny was known for dropping anything in an instant to help. He was extremely proud of his children and just the mention of their name brought the biggest smile to his face. Manny will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
