November 23, 1943 — August 4, 2022
James R. Manuwal, 78, of Argos passed away on Thursday, August 4, 2022 at home surrounded by his wife and four children.
Jim was born on November 23, 1943 in Plymouth, Indiana to Kenneth and Marcella (Moorehouse) Manuwal. James was a 1962 graduate of Plymouth High School. He then served 6 years with the National Guard. On May 1, 1966 he married Sandra Phelps.
Jim along with his wife Sandy owned and operated Century Antiques in Plymouth for 53 years. Jim was eccentric and a master at his trade. His strong work ethic and attention to detail showed in each piece he restored. Jim always said that the customers were the best part of owning the business. He appreciated his loyal customers, serving some families for multiple generations. Attention to detail also showed in the way he took care of his farmland; no piece of trash or rock went unnoticed.
He was also an avid euchre player and enjoyed listening to music and dancing. Jim was proud of his grandchildren as well and enjoyed following their many activities. Jim was a man of faith and strong character and was a longtime supporter of Right to Life.
