After Charlie Manuel had the news, he was still present at the game against Los Angeles Dodgers. Manuel omitted talking to the reporters and his usual pregame press conference was canceled. Manny Ramirez, who is now in the opposing team of the Dodgers, used to be managed by Charlie Manuel. Ramirez stopped by to offer condolences. L.A. Dodgers Manager, Joe Torre, also chatted with Manuel. The Phillies won the game against the Dodgers 3-2, in Game 1, on Thursday night. June Manuel is survived by 10 children.

Condolences and prayers to Charlie Manuel and the Manuel relatives. June Manuel, rest in peace.
