Harry was one of 12 children born to George and Ella (Brinske) Richter on Sept. 20, 1925. He lived in the same square-mile near Alden his whole life. Harry was a member at Concordia Lutheran Church in Pickerel Lake where he was baptized, confirmed and married. On Sept. 9, 1946, he married Marie Ohm.

Harry was a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. He was a farmer and handyman, working several jobs including Richter Hardware. He retired on Aug. 13, 1993. He enjoyed woodworking, fixing tractors and fixing his old cars: a 1925 model A Ford and 1941 Chevy. Harry enjoyed socializing — having coffee with “the gang” twice a day. Above all, he loved spending quality time with his grandchildren.

Harry is survived by his children James Richter (Mary) of Lake Mills and Judy Perez of Prior Lake; grandchildren Jeffrey Benny (Erica), James Benny (Becky Haugen), Daniel Richter (Jacqui Jepson), Mercedes Perez (Hunter Dahl) and Lexxi Perez; seven great-grandchildren; siblings Fern Drescher, Raymond Richter, Erma Colvin and Elnora Christenson (Nels); and many other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Harry is preceded in death by his wife, Marie; parents George and Ella; infant son, Dean Harry Richter; siblings Minnie Jacobson, Marie Wacholz, Frieda Jahnke, Clara Rebielein, Arthur Richter, Donald Richter and Elmer Richter; brothers-in-law Albert Ohm, Marvin Drescher, Howard Colvin, George Rebielin, George Jacobson and George Wacholz; and sisters-in-law Alma Richter and Grace Ohm.
