March 7, 1920 — February 3, 2013

Richard Otho Wahler, 92, born on March 7, 1920, in Freeport, Illinois, passed away February 3, 2013. He resided in Burbank, California. A memorial service will be held at 2:30 pm on Saturday, February 16 at Emmanuel Evangelical Free Church located at 438 E. Harvard Rd., Burbank. We rejoice in remembering his life, and his service to country and family.

Richard is one of the Greatest Generation, raised with few modern conveniences, who survived the great depression; served his nation in the Second World War; worked diligently in a factory to support his family; faithful to his wife of 69 years; raised 4 children, teaching them the value of honesty and hard work; lived frugally, residing in the same house for 62 years, paid it off early and saving up before retirement, lived carefully in retirement on Social Security and savings; enjoyed 9 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. He is a part of each of us, and we owe him our gratitude.
