MANUEL ALICEA Tribute

If you knew Brother Manny, then you knew what loyalty might look like if it were human. From the NY Yankees to the gospel of Jesus Christ, Brother Manny, as I knew and called him, was simply loyal. I have many memories with him and will always cherish his reason and purpose in my life.

On a different note, I'll never forget his easy method of the tie-knot. Back in 1992 when I was just starting out in drum playing at church he found me by the men's room mirror struggling to make a tie know work. He asks, " Hey Dave, want me to show you the quick way" and he patiently showed me how to make a knot. I still use his tie knot method to this day. See you on the other side Brother Manny,
Dave.
