RICHARD CASHER

Richard Casher, 80, of Susquehanna Township, passed away on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at the Masonic Village, Elizabethtown, PA.

He was born on April 14, 1940 in Allentown, PA to the late Harry and Sylvia (Kline) Casher. Richard graduated from Susquehanna Township High School in 1958, and had attended Ryder College. He served in the Pennsylvania National Guard 28th Infantry Division. He was honorably discharged in 1967 with the rank of Sergeant E-5.

Richard was employed with Casher's Inc. for over 50 years, retiring in 2017 as President. He was a devoted and caring son, husband, and father who participated in every family milestone and celebration. His Pug dog, William, enjoyed his attention and daily walks. As a young man he enjoyed horseback riding, bowling, and golf, but it was physical fitness that was a lifelong interest, it could be said that it was his second job. He was a member of Temple Ohev Sholom.

Surviving are his wife, Frances L. (Zalman) Casher, to whom he was happily married for 54 years, two sons, David Casher and his wife Debby, Greg and his wife Helen Dorra, grandchildren, Andrew, Elly, Liam, Henry and Sylvie, brother Bruce Casher, and his uncle Samuel Chuck Kline and his wife Ruth. He was preceded in death by his sister Sandra Chapman.

Funeral services will be private for the family.
