Henry Joseph Manegre left this life on March 19, 2022 less than a month before his 83rd birthday.
He received his Bachelor of Science in Education at Fitchburg State College and earned his Master of Arts from the University of Connecticut. Henry was an educator at Minnechaug Regional High School, teaching industrial arts.
Henry served for many years on the Hampden Volunteer Fire Department where he enjoyed the camaraderie and the worthwhile mission.
He spent many 4H horse shows leaning against a rail and pool side watching diving cheering on his daughters, and is maybe best remembered traveling around Hampden with his beloved black and white bully dog Bishop.
Hank, as he was known to his friends, is survived by his wife of 56 years Eleanor and puggle dog Barney. Papa, as he was known to his daughters, is survived by Jennifer (Jonathan) and Charity, as well as grandchildren William and Ryan.
There will not be a funeral; memorial contributions can be sent in his honor to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
