Raymond Brandon Moser, 94, of
Huntington, West Virginia, passed away on Wednesday, October 14, 2015 at the
Woodlands Health Care. Raymond was born in Boulder, Colorado to William R.
and Myra H. Moser. He came to Huntington with his parents in 1925, where he
graduated from Huntington High School in 1939, and began work with Quaker
State Oil Co., in St. Albans, WV. Ray married Juanita Mae “Tiny” Moser, also
of Huntington, on November 30, 1945. The couple lived in the Highlawn area
of Huntington and later at The Woodlands Retirement Community until his
death. Raymond joined the US Army Air Corps in 1942, serving for 30 months
in the South Pacific during WWII, where he received two unit citations and
nine battle stars. In 1946, he joined Carroll Trucking and Equipment, Co. as
Parts Manager, and retired from their successors, World Wide Equipment, Co.
in 1984.Ray enjoyed visits and outings with family or their many friends in
Huntington and elsewhere, particularly group vacations to the beach and
picnics at Riverside Swim Club. He loved to read, golf and play cards,
Sunday drives around the tri-state area, and especially visits with their
son or grandsons and families. His upbeat sense of humor will be remembered
by many and missed by us all. He is survived by one son, W. Scott Moser, and
his wife Catherine in Edenton, NC; grandson Eric B. Moser of Alexandria, VA;
and grandson Geoffrey M. Moser, his wife Kelly, and great grandsons Colton
Malcolm Moser and Beckett Shaw Moser, all of Eagle, CO. He is predeceased by
his wife Juanita Mae Moser of Huntington, his parents and one sister, Helen
Sharer of Albuquerque, NM. It is suggested that those wishing to honor Ray’s
memory send gifts to The Cabell County Public Library. The family would also
like to express their sincere thanks to the management and health care staff
at The Woodlands Retirement Community for the loving care and comfort
provided to Ray during his final years.
