Richard Musser Obituary
Born on August 21, 1944, in Frederick, MD, he was the son of the late William R. and Bessie Irene Cannon Musser.
Dick graduated from Brunswick High School in 1963. He always talked about when he was younger how much he loved helping his sister, Shirley, and her husband, Glen Moser, on their farm. He worked for the Kettler Brothers, a bridge building company, for a few years before going to work for Weinschel Engineering in Gaithersburg then later moved to Frederick. He gave 45 years of service to the company before retiring in June 2014. He loved so many of the people he worked with and always tried to stay in touch as much as he could. He was a member of the Brunswick Eagles Club Aerie 1136 and also a member of the Moose Club. Dick loved to go hunting, fishing and crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay. When he was able he loved to go gambling with his close friends Dewey and Fay Heftner of Virginia. He loved talking and visiting his cousin, Jim and Fran Cannon of Virginia. His friend, David Moss, was there to help him whenever he needed him, along with Sandra Rice, a dear friend.
In addition to his wife, Patricia, and son, RJ, Dick is survived by brothers, Kellen "Buck" Musser and Thomas Harwood, both of Frederick and William "Bill" Musser and wife, Carolyn, of California; sister, Melinda Nepa and husband, Steve, of Louisiana; and a large number of nieces and nephews.
Dick was preceded in death by sisters, Nora Jean Armstrong of West Virginia and Shirley Moser of Middletown.

I am so sorry for your loss. Dick was a very good friend of my husband and myself. I cant believe I just found this out too late to visit the funeral home or I would have been there. My husband, Gary, and Dick had many phone conversations during both their illnesses. Gary passed away Oct. 20 and Dick called many times to see how I was doing. I guess they are in Heaven sharing stories at the moment. Again, I am so very sorry for your loss.
