Wayne has been an inspiration to me every time I have visited my home church and seen him. His cheerful attitude and wonderful smile brightened my day. There will be a hole there the next time I visit. I missed Rosy every time I saw Wayne and now, I will think of them both every time I visit. You will be in our prayers! -Rudy J Troxel

My husband, Larry and I have been friends with Wayne Moser's daughter, Donna and husband for many years and attend Beef and Boards with them. Yearly, Wayne and his wife would attend at least one program and sit at our table. We always enjoyed seeing them as they were both so friendly and kind and remembered our names! We have missed his lovely wife who passed in 2022 and had just been with Wayne at Beef and Boards dinner theatre recently. He was one of the most kind, friendly people you would want to know. Our condolences to all of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and many acquaintances. -Diane and Larry Leeds
