Richard Manster CHALFIN

My memory of him was from our spiritual community in the Berkshires. He was a part of our Men´s Caravan for years. His loving heart was evidenced by his spiritual name, Habib. I will miss you, brother.

My fond memories were at his house when KK & Robin announced their engagement and their wedding he always made you feel welcome and friendly Our condolences

Your smile started with your mouth but really came out in your eyes. And when something needed doin´ there was always that look of determination `til it got done, and then the smile was back. Thanx for so much, man. Happy Trails.

Richard was a lover of nature, arts, family, people, hot tub, always enthusiastic, always fun, so sad not to see him again in this place.

My memories of Richard are from his time in West Virginia. E was committed to gardening and I was lucky enough to work with him on our communal garden. I attribute a lot of my love of gardening to him. I´m happy that it´s something that he continued to do his whole life. Sending love to Robin and my sympathies to the family

I trust that your wonderful memories with him will one day outweigh the grief you are feeling. My heart is with you.

My dear father n law, parts of you will be with me forever. Thank you for being you. Love, kk

With deep sadness we receive the news of Richard's passing. Our families shared many wonderful memories from our years at the Waldorf school and from enjoying Joyce's presence at the birth of our son Robin. In one of our photo albums we have a precious photo of Julia and son Ezra walking hand in hand as 3-4 year old's in our back yard .We remember fondly Richard's contributions to our community.
