Richard Bosher Obituary
HANOVER TWP. — Richard C. Bosher, 70, of Hanover Township, passed away Saturday, Feb. 21, 2015, from complications of ALS and Leukemia.
Born June 3, 1944, in Wilkes-Barre, he was the son of the late George and Ida Luongo Bosher. Richard graduated from GAR High School in 1962 and served in the Army National Guard's Battery C 1st Battalion 109th Artillery from 1963-69. He worked at the Tobyhanna Army Depot, where he met his wife, Jeanne, of 48 years.
Richard was a local businessman who owned Bosher's ARCO Service Station, AM/PM Mini Market and East End Washmobile. In later years, he worked for Sunshine Market and Quest Diagnostics, where he retired from in 2012.

He is survived by his loving family the former Jeanne Flowers; daughter and son-in-law Stacy and James Reeser; and son Rich Bosher.
A special thank you to Dr. James R. Bruno, his physician of 35 years, and his staff as well as the nurses and aides of Geisinger Wilkes-Barre 6th floor East and the Hanover Township Community Ambulance Association.
