Dr. Bill Manov April 23, 1951 to February 21, 2017
Dr. Bill Manov died in a tragic automobile accident on February 21, 2017. At the time of his death, he was providing independent consultant services to the California Institute for Behavioral Health Solutions (CIBHS).
Recently, in September 2016, Bill Manov retired from the Santa Cruz County Behavioral Health Services.
Like so many thousands of other days of his career, he awoke that morning leaving his home to give his best to the Substance Use Disorder (SUD) field. And his best was remarkable! His training evaluations were consistently excellent. After one of his recent trainings, he received a perfect score from the audience. The evaluations consistently acknowledge his experience, ex-pertise, and practical advice. He knew the issues, and it showed. He always allowed significant time in his trainings for feedback and discussion.
We all benefited from his contributions. The clients who walk through the doors into substance use disorder treatment benefited most of all because they were better served due to his planning skill, expertise, and enormous efforts. That is what he wanted, and that was what he accomplished.
His service reflected his life filled with friends, family, the SUD field, government workers, and musicians. Bill was a musician and his service ended with his composition- Funky Tin Man. None of us know what will happen on any given day. There will be days of sorrow. February 21, 2017 was a day of sorrow. CIBHS is comforted by the memory of how Bill Manov lived. He was doing the things he loved, giving of his time and expertise, living a life with meaning and purpose. His life was filled with hard work, drive, and accomplishments, yet he found time for joy. He found time for us.

Thank you, Dr. Bill Manov. We are grateful. You will be missed.
