Sad news to pass along: Carole Manto, a crew-placement agent and the wife of Richard Manto, the founder and owner of the bunkering firm Global Yacht Fuel, died Monday morning. She had been suffering from emphysema, but she died peacefully and without drugs. While I didn’t know Carole, Shannon Webster, one of her best friends and the founder and owner of Shannon Webster Yacht Charters, described her as a “beautifully elegant and feisty woman.”
A gathering will be held this Monday at 2 p.m. at Forest Lawn Funeral Home, located at 200 West Copans Road in Pompano Beach, (954) 523-6700. A memorial service follows at 3 o’clock, and the Manto home will host people after that. If you cannot make it, flowers are welcome, as are donations in Carole’s name to either the American Lung Association or the Humane Society.
If anyone wishes to send a card to Richard, please e-mail me (click “Contact Us” at top left to get my address), and I will give you his home address. You can also share your comments here, and I will make sure he gets them.
