We shared some nice times together. We will miss him. He was a gracious man who was a role model for others. Our sympathies to Gisela and family. Love, Liz and Erich
He was a successfull entrepreneur, yet stayed a warm and down to earth person.
I still remember staying at the Grindels home during my school holidays and working in the company.
That was a long, long ago. So many good memories!
I will miss my “Uncle Manfred”
I would like to express my condolences to the Grindels family, also on behalf of the entire MĂĽller family.
We whish you strength, comfort and love for the time to come.

Im Herzen tief traurig. Ein toller Mensch ist nicht mehr.Manfed hat in seinem Leben eine aufregende Zeit gehabt.Mit UnterstĂĽtzung seiner Frau hat er groĂźes geschafft. Ihr GlĂĽck war auch die Geburt des Sohnes Mark.Und dann das GlĂĽck der Enkelkinder.
Ich bin unendlich traurig meinen lieben Cousin Manfred nicht mehr umarmen zu können.
Die liebevolle Erinnerungen bleiben.
Deine Cousine Sieglinde
Je n*ai pas connu beaucoup Manfred mais dans ces courts moments j’ai beaucoup apprĂ©ciĂ© Manfred c’Ă©tait un homme très agrĂ©able
Sincères condoléances à toute la famille
Lieber Mark,
dir traurige Nachricht hat auch uns in München erreicht. Gedanklich sind wir bei euch. Wir wünschen euch viel Kraft für die nächsten Wochen und Monate.
Manfred war ein sehr feiner Mensch!
Ich schlieĂźe mit den Worten von Ernest Hemingway: “Keiner, der geliebt wird, ist jemals tot!”
Treffender hätte ich es nicht ausdrĂĽcken können …
Bleibt gesund!

Our deepest sympathy goes to Gisela and Mark with family.

We met on a soccer field in the mid 70’s, Manny was the coach with Gisela at his side, our sons on the field. That is how it started, this friendship of over 40 years. It was not long before we were visiting around their dining room table, talking of our mutual love for the outdoors and of family, heritage and world events. We went skiing, pheasant hunting, and of course fishing, but the relationship was more special than that because he was special. We were and still are in awe of what he accomplished in his life but more importantly of his welcoming way, his true concern for his friends, his willingness to help in any way he could. We would share our high times and low, tell stories and laugh – laugh a lot. We are so much richer for having known Manny and Gisela and will miss him terribly.
Our sincere condolences to Gisela, Mark and Family. Rest well Manny.

Manfred is now relieved he went home.
That means to accept the pain of parting, to bear the grief because you know what I am talking about.
A wise person made the following statement:
Trauern ist wie ein grosser Felsbrocken. Wegrollen kann man ihn nicht.
Zuerst versucht man nicht daran zu ersticken, dann hackt man ihnStueck fuer Stuek kleiner.
Dem letzten Brocken schleift die Zeit seine Kanten rund, dann steckt man ihn ein und traegt ihn ein Leben lang mit sich.
Life is limited we all know that but nevertheless death is touching us deep inside our hard.
I am with you in your mourning.
I say god bay to my cousin Manfred
Klaus
May you be comforted knowing that your loved one is now in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
