Belmont Middle School issued the following announcement on Feb. 3.
The Belmont Middle School family mourns the loss of a great Wildcat. Joe Manning was more than a custodian to the school. He was a friend, a cheerleader, a father and a friend to all that came in contact with him. There was nothing like getting back from a game and hearing “Did you get ‘em??!!…. That’s what I’m talking about!!” Joe loved to give inspiration to the kids and to athletes during practice. Joe walked the walk. The gym will be a lot quieter without you my friend.
Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat.
