(Schober in 1947 at Keesler, AFB in Biloxi, Miss.  Virginia predeceased him in 2009.  They first lived in Lancaster an later moved to Coudersport in Potter County.

On one of his most favorite baseball caps was written: My greatest blessings call me Grandpa!

              Richard worked as a pressman at Donnelly Printing Co while in Lancaster.  During that time, he took a break from printing to serve his country by joining the US Air Force.  After he served in the military, he returned home to printing at Donnelly.  As his family grew, the decision was made that a farm would be a better place to raise so many children.  In 1967 the Musser family moved to a dairy farm in Potter County.  After 12 years, Richard retired from farming.  Once the family farm was sold, his hands naturally went back to the printing presses working at the Potter-Leader Enterprise; The Journal; the Kingdom Printing in Mansfield.  He spent his retirement years as a print salesman. In 2017 he moved to Pittsburg to live with family there.
