NUSSBAUM RICHARD JONATHAN

Age 66, passed away peacefully November 26 after a sudden illness. Richard was a longtime resident at Community Living and Support Services (C.L.A.S.S.) at Shaler Highlands, Glenshaw, PA, and a longtime participant at adult rehabilitation and day services at C.L.A.S.S. and Easter Seals. He is the son of the late Otto and Rose Nussbaum of Newtown, PA and Princeton, NJ. He is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Dr. Arthur Nussbaum and Barbara Nussbaum of Allison Park, PA; sister, Marta (Nussbaum) Steele of Washington, DC; nephews, Gregory Nussbaum, Sterling, VA and Scott Nussbaum, New York, NY; and niece, Dr. Liza Steele, New York, NY. Richard stoically endured the successive and cumulative handicaps that afflicted him since birth. He was never self-pitying or bitter. He was a devoted Pittsburgh sports fan.
