Richard
Musser, 79, of Baraboo, passed away on Saturday, April 6, 2019 just 10 days
after his beloved wife, Sharon of 48 years, passed. Born
in Chicago, Illinois on Jan. 8, 1940 Richard a south side, windy city
flatlander known as the “common man”, was anything but common. God first,
country second, family third. Richard
was a veteran of the United States Army serving his country in Frankfort,
Germany during the cold war from 1963 to 1965. He was a member of the VFW
Greenwood Memorial Post 987. Known
by many from his dedicated years working at the car wash, Richard had a larger
than life character and personality that could never go unnoticed. He enjoyed
driving his 1960 Buick LeSabre and was a longtime member of the Dells Area
Cruisers. He will be greatly missed by family, coffee buddies at DQ and Viking,
and his many friends who knew him for his “doing it his way” attitude. Survivors
include his three children, Renee Musser, Rich Musser and Rochelle (Jason)
Oelke; 11 grandchildren; and other relatives and friends. A
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, April 17, 2019
at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 304 East St., Baraboo, with Fr. Jay Poster
officiating. Visitation will be at the church on Wednesday from 9 am until time
of Mass. Interment will be held in St. Joseph Cemetery with military honors
provided by the VFW Greenwood Memorial Post 987.
A luncheon and celebration of Richard’s and
Sharon’s life will take place at Thunderbird Lanes, 1117 8 th
St.,
Baraboo, from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm. following the interment. Baldwin Funeral Services is assisting the
family with arrangements.
As Richard would say, “Smile
and confuse people”.
