<div itemprop="description">It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Manfred Richter. He died peacefully at home and will be missed by his children, grandchildren, family and friends. <br> <br>Born as the middle child in Gablonz in 1935, his parents, himself and two brothers weathered the war. As a teen, he and his elder brother attended boarding school after which time Manfred embarked on his education as a machinist. At the age of 26, he forged a new life by immigrating to Montreal, Quebec. Eventually, he began working for an aerospace company which is where he stayed until he retired. <br> <br>His hobbies included carpentry, gardening, German culture and being in nature. His sense of humor and willingness to help will be missed. As a family, we appreciate your thoughts and prayers at this time.</div>
