MANFREDI -- Frank D. Manfredi - 91, son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, cousin, and dear friend, peacefully left us Tuesday Evening, December 11, 2007. Papa was a lifetime resident of New Mexico. He was born to immigrant parents, Alberto Manfredi and Beatrice Persiconi on October 2, 1916, in Dawson, New Mexico. Papa is survived by his wife, best friend, and soul mate of 59 years, Edith G. Manfredi. He also leaves sons, William Manfredi and wife, Shirley, Carl Manfredi and wife, Patti; grandchildren, Daphne Saragusa and husband, Kari, William Manfredi, Jr., and wife, Karla, Jana Manfredi, Damon Manfredi and wife, Ansley, Frank L. Manfredi, and Lily Manfredi: great-grandchildren, Natalie and Benjamin Saragusa, and Meadow Manfredi; brother, Albert Becchetti and wife, Arzie; sister-in-law, Etala Manfredi; and many nieces, nephews, trusted friends and caregivers. Papa was preceded in death by brother, James Manfredi; and sisters, Mary Rigoni and husband, Emelio, and Carrie Corazzi and husband, Primo. Papa grew up in Raton, NM, and played guard on the 1936 Raton "Tigers" High School State Champion basketball team. He later coached at St. Patrick's High School, in Raton. He served in the Army, stationed in the Pacific, during WWII. After the war, Papa moved to Albuquerque, to attend the University of New Mexico. He worked for the University Food Stores department as a butcher while attending school, and after graduating with a business degree, became the UNM Food Purchasing Agent. During that time, he managed and worked the University's concession stands for all the basketball and football games. Because of his hard work ethic, outstanding loyalty and dedication to UNM, he was promoted to Purchasing Agent. He worked in that capacity until his retirement in 1981. He received a gold retirement watch. Papa met his neighbor, Edith Norman, and asked her to tutor him in his university studies. They became great friends, and a romance blossomed. They married July 24, 1948. Papa literally married the "girl next door" and was the epitome of the perfect husband. Papa loved his wife, family, fishing and playing golf. He was a University Golf Association President and proud owner of two hole-in-one trophies. Papa was a builder. He built editions on homes he lived in, as well as editions and barns for relatives. He played an integral part as Purchasing Agent in the growth and building of the University of New Mexico from 1950 to 1981. He built lasting friendships, which have withstood the test of time. Papa was a cook. While at the University, if there was a steak-fry for any sporting event, Papa was the cook. He personally purchased, prepared and cooked thousands of steaks. The UNM Tucker and McGuire Golf Tournaments were his favorites. He always enlisted family and friends to help him. Papa was a survivor. He survived congestive heart failure at age 73. He survived small cell lung cancer at age 89. We will miss Papa's steaks, his "can do" attitude, his smile, his friendship, his genuine goodness, his wisdom, and his love. Visitation, Commemoration, and Rosary will be held at 7:00 pm, on Friday, December 14, 2007, in the Palm Chapel, of Daniels Family Funeral Services, 1100 Coal Avenue, SE.

PURTELL -- Dr. Eugene P. (Gene) Purtell, DDS went Home to his Lord on December 14, 2007. He was born May 16, 1923 in Monches, Wisconsin, the youngest of the nine children of Francis and Ellen (Flynn) Purtell, and the seventh son of a seventh son. Gene served in the US Army Air Corp during WWII. On September 20, 1945, he married his sweetheart, Peg. He then began his studies at Marquette University, where he graduated with his Dental degree. Gene and Peg brought their growing family to Albuquerque in 1952, and he began a busy 35-year career in dentistry. Gene was secretary of the New Mexico Dental Association and was presented the Medal of Distinction in recognition of over forty years of outstanding service to dentistry, maintaining a standard by which all future leaders will be judged. He was inducted into the International College of Dentists, a tribute to excellence in his field. He used his knowledge and abilities to serve this community, volunteering his time in the Cleft Palate Clinic and the Head Start Dental Program. He made sure that good dental insurance was available by assisting in bringing about the Delta Dental Plan. Probably his proudest moment was when he was able to convince the City Commission to have fluoride put into the city water system. How many homes heard, and still hear, "Look, Ma! No cavities!" He was an active participant in the parishes to which he belonged, serving as the president of the Parish Council at St. Charles Borromeo and Our Lady of Fatima, as a lector, and a Eucharistic Minister. He was also an active parent in the schools which his eight children attended. He was a man who loved and lived his Catholic faith, cherished his beloved Peg, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and generally relished his life. His wit and sense of humor are well-known to everyone whose life he touched. He was a man of integrity and compassion, a singer of songs, a teller of stories, a player of pranks, a poet, and a writer of "Letters to the Editor." We all miss him more than words can say! Gene was preceded in death by six brothers; one sister; and his beloved daughter-in-law, Cheryl, who will all be happy to greet him. He is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Peg; children, Kate and Richard Prasek, Pat and Sharon Purtell, Peggy and Gene Moser, Nancy Purtell and husband, Bill Quaglia, Brian and Colleen Purtell, Kevin and Barbara Purtell, Tim and Lucy Purtell, and Terry Purtell; 21 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; his sister, Gert Arndorfer; sister-in-law, Nancy, and husband, Charles Ritter; and a host of other family and friends who will miss him greatly.
