I don't know if Ben was a member of 4-H in his youth, but he did serve as Director of 4-H Clubs for schools in Geneva County (Ala.), one of his duties as Agricultural Extension Agent, shortly after graduating from Auburn University. I know that students looked forward to--and benefited from-- visits from "Mr. McManus" because my brother and his friends, mischievous seventh graders, were among his charges.
At meetings, 4-H Club members recite the following: I pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service, and my Health to better living for my club, my community, and my country.
I believe my brother-in-law Ben McManus chose to live his life in harmony with this pledge.

I first met Ben when I was about 9 years old. A year or so later, he became my brother-in-law when he married my sister, Maxine. It was about this time that Ben gave me the lifelong nickname "Prissy". Just as I got to really know him, they left for Auburn where he and Maxine attended the University. It seemed in those formative years of mine they were always attending universities whether it was Auburn, the University of Tennessee, or far away Purdue University. It certainly didn't take long for me to understand that getting a good education was important to Ben. I have such great respect for all of his hard work and accomplishments.
What I will always remember about Ben was his positive attitude and how he encouraged all of us to attain our education goals. He and Maxine did a sensational job raising two outstanding daughters and I know Ben was very proud of both of them and just as importantly he has left an outstanding legacy for his grandsons, Wilson and James.
May he rest in peace and I know Maxine and the family will find solace in knowing that his was a life that was truly phenomenal.
