William Musselman Obituary

William Harry "Bill" Musselman

January 23, 1937 - August 21, 2022

William Harry "Bill" Musselman, of Salem, passed from this life to greater glory on Sunday afternoon, August 21, 2022.

Bill was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Norma Jean Jackson Musselman and his parents, Harry and Kathleen Musselman.

Among the life experiences that were most valued by Bill were his work: his early salesmanship in housing, then 45 years as an employee at a Salem office equipment dealer, including many years service as President of the Company until his retirement. As much as Bill loved his work and working with employees at the firm, Bill was always a 'cheerleader', bringing out the best in anyone who had any ability in business. Bill's motto was 'work hard, play hard'. Bill valued his time on Harley Davidson motorcycles, especially his long road trips with friends. Bill was also an automotive restoration enthusiast, there was always a classic or two in the garage. Bill was especially proud of obtaining his private pilot's license, aviation was an interest from his childhood. Bill loved to travel, and loved to share travel with friends, associates, and especially his beloved Norma. Bill will be missed by all who called him friend.

The family will receive friends at Lotz Funeral Home in Salem on Thursday, August 25, 2022 from 10 until 11 a.m. A funeral service will follow in the chapel of Lotz Funeral Home in Salem at 11 a.m. Burial will be in Sherwood Memorial Park.
