Obituary for Ronald E. Richter Softly in the morning you heard a gentle call, you took the hand God offered you and quietly left us all…. Ronald E. Richter, 84, of Sayre and formerly of Nichols passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday morning, September 5, 2018 at his home. Ron was born on September 9, 1933 in Canton, Pa a son of the late Charles Adam and Clara Lillian (Johonnis) Richter.
He was a graduate of Troy High School. Ron continued his education at Rochester Business Institute and later received his Bachelors from St. Bonaventure. Ron retired in 1992 following thirty-five years as an accountant with IBM.
He enjoyed gardening, genealogy and traveling although his greatest pleasure was being surrounded by his family.
