Memorial Fund

A memorial scholarship fund has been created at the request of Mannie D'Souza's family.

Contributions may be made through the Fontana Unified School District.  Checks should be made payable to FUSD, with the words "D'Souza Fund" on the memo line.  Contributions may be forwarded through Business Services, Attention:  Gail Van.

We are saddened to report the passing of Emmanuel (“Mannie”) J. D’Souza, who served Fontana Unified School District’s students for almost 19 years.

Mannie’s family has asked us to convey their appreciation for the many expressions of support, sympathy and prayer they have received.

Mannie is survived by his wife Christine, his two sons, Victor and Basil, daughters-in-law Sonia and Celeste, and granddaughters Alexis and Haley.  Another granddaughter is expected very soon --  Jaiden Emmanuel D’Souza.

Before joining the Fontana schools, Mannie worked for the Exxon Oil Company, for the Orange County Schools Office, and in the American embassy in Pakistan (where he was also known for his skill at cricket and earned several competitive ping pong trophies).  He applied that same competitive spirit to winning school construction funding for our students, bringing them over $700 million in new classroom funding during his service.
