Myron C. “Jack” Musser, 92, of Williamsport, and formerly of Muncy, died Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013, at the Williamsport Regional Medical Center.

Born June 1, 1920, in Spring Mills, Pa., he was a son of the late Wiley C. and Ruth (Stover) Musser. On Aug. 7, 1943, he married the former Jean Fritz, with whom he shared 56 years until her death on Jan. 4, 2000. On May 18, 2002, he married the former Sarah DeRubertis, who survives.

A 1938 graduate of Muncy High School, he served in the U.S. Army and was a veteran of World War II. Jack worked as the Personnel Manager at the former J & L Steel, later Bridon-American, retiring after more than 40 years of employment.

Smith Post No. 3428 V.F.W., Muncy; a 60-plus year member of Muncy Lodge No. 299, F&AM; and a member of the Muncy Valley Moose Lodge No. 866. Among his favorite pastimes were playing golf and bridge. For 20 years he enjoyed traveling to Arizona to spend winters, and he volunteered at the veteran’s clinic in Williamsport. A devoted family man, he loved his grandchildren and especially enjoyed attending their sporting events.
