Obituary of Charles A. Manfre

Charlie loved old movies and classic television shows. The Godfather was his favorite movie, and Hogan’s Heroes was his favorite TV show. He couldn’t be bothered with Netflix or Prime, but he enjoyed his DVD collection and even some old VHS tapes.

He loved to cook and talk about food and often said that he never forgot a good meal.

His happy place was his summer retreat in Wildwood, NJ, where he and his wife loved spending many fun times there. He always cherished the wonderful memories he created over the years with his Wildwood family and friends. He and his wife also enjoyed going on cruises, especially to Bermuda, their favorite vacation destination where Charlie always said he felt "at home."

Charlie is preceded in death by his parents, Charles N. Manfre and Grace (Telleri) Manfre, and by his sister, Shirley Miller.
