Dennis Raymond Manning of Sanbornton, NH, passed away on February 10th at Concord Hospital in Concord, NH after a period of unwellness. Dennis was born September 10th, 1949, in Laconia, NH to Raymond H. and Mary (Nudd) Manning of Tilton, NH. Though he resided in Sanbornton for the last 25 years, his roots were deeply anchored in Tilton where he grew up and raised his family. Dennis made numerous friends along the way, maintaining strong relationships with them throughout the years.
For several years Dennis ran the scales and front office of Tilton Sand & Gravel alongside running a side hustle from his School Street home. Dennis was essentially the “Picnic Table King” of the Lakes Region producing quality tables for residents and businesses. He took immense pride in his design, as they could not be tipped- no matter how many people sat on one side! Many other wood projects came out of his garage, with his baby cradles being a fan favorite.
Dennis’ side hustle paved the way for establishing Manning...
