Richard Rosenberger

Richard J. Rosenberger died on May 7th at the age of 79. He spent his final weeks in his home in Quakertown enjoying breathtaking Spring views of his serene woods and pastures, surrounded by friends and family members. "Dick" was the first son of N. Clarence and Clara Rosenberger. He graduated from Quakertown High School in 1948, attended the Philadelphia Institute of Barbering and then served in the United States Army. In 1954, Dick married Seena Ann Weiss. They built their home in Quakertown and raised four children during their 50 years of marriage. For much of his life, Dick owned and operated Clover Leaf Mill, an iconic feed mill, grain dealership and country store in Milford Square that was founded by his Grandfather Menno Simon Rosenberger. Dick spent much of his free time on his farm, where he loved raising cows and turkeys and caring for his land. A strong advocate of land preservation, Dick recently assigned nearly 100 acres to a Bucks County Open Space program to ensure perpetual enjoyment by future generations. A founding member of Clover Leaf Archery and Conservation Association, Dick was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing his whole life. He was the most senior member of Bobst Mountain Hunting Club in Lycoming County, where he enjoyed outdoor sporting with his friends for more than 40 years. Dick took many fly fishing trips during his life, travelling as far as Alaska, Yellowstone and Labrador. But his favorite fishing spots remained in Pennsylvania, along the Little Lehigh and Delaware Rivers. Dick is survived by his four children, Caroline Hall, Gretchen Reinhart, Martin Rosenberger and Theodore Rosenberger, their spouses and six grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Seena, his brother Willard, and his parents. The family would like to express special thanks to Dr. Paul Weibel, the Life Choice Hospice, and caregivers Ann Kline and Lisa DeFrancesco for the loving and professional care they provided during his final days. Calling hours will be Tuesday May 11th from 7pm to 9pm and Wednesday May 12th from 9am to 10am at Jeffrey A. Naugle Funeral Home at 20 N Ambler St in Quakertown. A 10:30am family tribute will follow. A lunch and reception celebrating Dick's life will be held in Allentown after interment. The family suggests donations be made to the National Park Foundation (www.nationalparks.org) in lieu of flowers. www.janauglefcs.com
