Richard H. Shaner

We miss Richards knowledge and wisdom of Historical matters. Thomas J. Gerhart-President of The Pennsylvania German Society

Mr. Shaner was one of my favorite teachers in all levels of my education. I went on to become a teacher but not in history. That remains one of my greatest life regrets.

I know I am late writing this, but since I am part of the Griesemer family, I send my condolences. Remembered always! Love to the family!

There can be no accurate estimation of the cultural and spiritual value contained within the vast corpus of Mr. Shaner’s legacy and work. Thank you, and god bless you and yours Richard. +++

Dear Eleanor, I am so sorry to read of Richard’s passing. May God surround you with His comfort and peace. May your memories be a source of comfort in the days ahead. With sympathy, Jan Ferree

Dick was a wonderful and generous man who devoted his life to the understanding and preservation of our Pennsylvania German heritage. There was nobody more generous with their time and enthusiasm .

RIP my sympathy goes out to your family. Great teacher you will always be remembered. Frances “Turczynski “ Hallman

I had Mr. Shaner as my history teacher at Raub Junior High School in the early 60’s. He was an excellent teacher and I credit my ongoing interest in history to him. My condolences to his family.

Mr. Shaner was a top shelf teacher. I took every history course he taught. Will cherish all you taught. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Class of 1981.
