Peter Michael de Manio, a longtime resident of Sarasota, FL, died on March 20, 2008 in Bedford, MA, after a long battle with cancer. Peter will be remembered as the father of rowing in Sarasota, where he founded his first rowing program, the Sarasota Scullers, in his backyard in 1990, followed by the Sarasota Scullers Youth Rowing Program in 1991 and Osprey Oars in 2003. For eighteen years Peter coached and mentored hundreds of students from area high schools. In addition to his programs’ impressive record of athletic achievement which included many state, regional, and national championships, Peter was particularly proud of his former students who went on to win world championships and Olympic medals. Peter’s programs emphasized commitment to high standards and excellence, not only in rowing, but in all facets of life. For many this translated into realizing the dream of college and successful careers afterwards.
Peter was born in New York City on Oct. 9, 1935. After being graduated from the University of Pennsylvania (’63) and the Washington and Lee Law School (’66), he lived in Winter Park, and then, since 1977, in Sarasota. Before his career in law, Peter served as lieutenant in the Army and pursued acting on stage and film, including a starring role in Walt Disney’s, "Varda, the Peregrine Falcon." Peter was a distinguished trial lawyer and mediator for many years, taught trial advocacy, and served for five years as a circuit judge in Orange County. A passionate man of many interests, he raced Thistles and Star boats to several championships, enjoyed chess, and loved travel, history, literature, and languages. As a master rower, Peter successfully competed at the national level, winning a championship in the single scull in 1991.
He is survived by his beloved wife of forty-two years, Elizabeth Cragg de Manio, a realtor with Coldwell Banker of Sarasota, his twin daughters Jacqueline de Manio Eberley and her husband Robert Eberley of Tenafly, NJ, and Genevieve de Manio and her husband Timothy Downing of Carlisle, MA, his son Dinko Vucemilovic of New York, and by seven grandchildren. He was the son of Jack de Manio, a well-known British radio personality, and Juliet Marie Kaufman of New York City and Palm Beach, FL. In 2008, Mr. de Manio moved to Bedford, MA, in order to be closer to his family.
The family is planning a "Celebration of Life" service in Sarasota, FL in mid-April.

Jeanne Toombs, age 60 of Concord, Massachusetts, died on Monday, March 31, at Emerson Hospital of complications from pneumonia.
Born in Newton, Massachusetts in 1948, Jeanne was the daughter of the late Ernest and Agnes Toombs. She was graduated from Concord-Carlisle High School in 1966. She received her undergraduate degree from Hobart & William Smith College in Geneva, NY and a masters degree in Music Education from University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA.
Jeanne loved music.

After teaching music for several years at Douglas Elementary School in Acton, Jeanne returned to Concord to open her own piano teaching studio. Over the past thirty years Jeanne has touched many lives in the community, sharing her love of music with over five hundred local children and adults.

She recently testified before the Massachusetts State House to advance a new bill, MA H.1844, which will add height and weight to the anti-discrimination law.
Throughout her life, Jeanne was an avid traveler. Jeanne has crossed the world many times, from childhood road trips driving across the country, to vacations in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland, England, Germany, Austria, Monaco, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Hong Kong, Japan, Brazil, and, most of all, Paris, France.
