David E. Manning, passed away on August 31, 2022, at 89 years of age in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. He was born on January 19, 1933, the son of Harry and Ermine (nee David) Manning. On August 22, 1959, he married Margaret Ollinger at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Beaver Dam.
He was a lifetime member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Clyman. David farmed at the Manning Homestead in the Town of Clyman until his retirement. He was a past Chairman for the Town of Clyman, a Charter Member of the Clyman Lions Club, and a salesman for Lemke Seed Corn for several years. He was on the Board of Directors of the Lebanon Clyman Mutual Insurance Company for 31 years and served as Vice President for the last 14 years. David was a self-taught carpenter and enjoyed making and sharing his wood working projects. He made many pieces of furniture for his children and grandchildren. One of his favorite past-times was fishing and he enjoyed bee keeping for many years and always had honey available for the kids and grandkids. David spent many hours playing cribbage, sheepshead and euchre with friends and family. Most of all he liked spending time with family, especially holidays when almost everyone got together!
