I grew up eagerly awaiting the next issue of Outdoor Life to read his stories.

A very sad day indeed. I always had to read his books when alone. Every time I read them around someone else they always threatened me with bodily harm because of my laughing and silly giggling. McManus was the best I ever read. Everyone should give him a read.
excellent author - have most of his books - we will miss him

I had a friend loan me a copy of "The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw" the year I graduated high school. I read everything I could find that he wrote after that. He sure brought a lot of smiles to this old world.

Read a lot of his books...I can remember They Shoot Canoes, Don't They?
He always referred to his sister as The Troll...and who can forget Rancid Crabtree?
We lost a great writer. RIP Mr. McManus.

His books were perfect reading. I even tried the "Modified Stationary Panic" a few times myself. Prayers for his family.

So no "full bore linear panic"?
Here's a fun quiz for fans of Pat McManus. http://www.funtrivia.com/playquiz/quiz35690028db5e8.html

Also noted that Charlie Alsheimer (a prolific writer for Deer & Deer Hunting and many years of studying and photographing deer) passed away sometime in late December 2017. Wasn't aware of his passing until I got the most recent copy of D&DH.
Seems like an awful lot of the good ones are taken way to soon.

It is never safe to be reading any of his stuff with either a mouthful of anything or a full bladder......

Is there a link to his posts? I'd like to read some of his stuff. RIP.
Sorry for the delay as I've been out of town. If you Google Patrick McManus you'll find plenty of stuff. And any library system is bound to have some or all of his books.

I always read his column as a Kid. I recently found an ad for two of his books one signed. Even my Techy, Sci-Fi only Teenager likes his books. His humor spanned generations.

I got to each lunch with Pat McManus about 20 years ago while he was on a book tour through the Carolinas. Extremely articulate guy who didn't take himself seriously.
