Ted M. McManus, 53, a Eunice native and Morgan City resident, died Thursday at 
his residence. McManus was a longtime Daily Review Reporter and Editor.

In addition to his 30-years in the daily newspaper industry - where he served 
as sports editor, reporter and managing editor at The Daily Review - McManus 
recently had expanded his career to include freelance writer and novelist in 
his repertoire.

McManus received numerous Louisiana Press Association awards in the best 
regular column, best continuing coverage of an event, best feature story, 
outstanding investigative reporting and best feature photo categories.

More recently, he received the Meritorious Service Award from the Atchafalaya 
Chapter of the American Petroleum Institute at its annual banquet in April 
2010.

McManus penned "Pioneers, Heroes, Innovators," a 60-plus-year history of 
Petroleum Helicopters Inc., which was published this summer.

He most recently was employed as a health, safety, security and environmental 
administrative assistant at Crown Oilfield Services in Bayou Vista.

McManus is survived by his wife Bonnie of Morgan City; his daughter, Megan 
Leonard of Lafayette; and two sisters.

Visitation will be held from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday at Sacred Heart Catholic 
Church in Morgan City. Funeral services will follow at 11 a.m. Monday at the 
church. 
Burial will be in the Morgan City Cemetery.

Arrangements under the direction of Hargrave Funeral Home, Morgan City, LA.
