Moses went by “Moose” and he had a loud booming voice and laughter.  He will be missed, and we will always think of and love him.

Throughout his life he had a passion to serve his people in any way though the community.  He will be missed by those who knew him as a father, brother, friend, grandpa, brother-in-law, and as a leader for the people too.
