Richard A. Oswald, 75, of Forty Fort, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, Sept. 26, 2022, at Highland Manor, Exeter, with his cousin, Janet, by his side.

Born May 23, 1947, he was the son of the late Benjamin and Christine Richards Oswald.

He is survived by cousins, Janet (Michael) Venetz; David Roberts and companion, Carol Zurawski; and Marilyn (Peter) Scharfenberg.

Richard was a Forty Fort High School graduate and earned an associate's degree in electronics and electronic technology from the Pennsylvania State University. He was formerly employed by the Bendix Corporation and Kay Wholesale Drug.
