Manley, age 72 of Ripley, Ohio, passed away Friday, October 22, 2021 at Clinton Memorial Hospital in Wilmington, Ohio.  He grew up and attended school in Higginsport, Ohio.  Roger was employed at Dravo where he was injured in a workplace accident in 1980.  That didn’t stop him from being a car enthusiast.  He loved cars from a very young age.  Roger was a drag racer for many years and enjoyed having classic muscle cars restored and entering them in car shows and attending cruise-ins.  He loved his cars, but what he enjoyed most was spending time with his wife, daughters and grandkids.  They were the apple of his eye.
