Moses is also survived by brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, cousins, and numerous family and friends. His wife of 74 years was his comfort and support. She will be consoled by the memories she has of Moses. Family was important and it meant a lot to him to have them all together. He was a true role model for the family and enjoyed telling many stories of his years living in Delta, Colorado, before moving to California. He will be truly missed!
