Alex Moser

August 14, 1954 - December 23, 2015

Alexander Layfette Moser III

On December 23, 2015, Alex took his final flight as he reached out his hand and “touched the face of God.”

Alex entered this life August 14, 1954 in Denison and left this world Wednesday at William P. Clements, Jr. University Hospital. Loving family and close friends filled the room and gathered near his bedside to usher him into that final blue sky he loved so dearly.
Surviving him are many very close family members and friends but none so dedicated to him as his Co-pilot in life, Susan Gail Moser. Others include his daughter and son-in-law, Mari Ann and Mark Lewis; his son and daughter-in-law, Matthew and Caroline Moser. The family extends special affection and love to Thelma Dagenais for her role in the Moser family. Alex is also survived by son Chad Huddleston along with his co-conspirator and partner in crime, his sister, Myrna Gail Moser with Annette Kalandros. Others include his brother Frank Rogers and his wife Enid, along with a number of nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father and mother, A.L. and Beulah Moser and his precious mother-in-law, Margie Eubank.

Alex attended, as he would say, “Willer Sprangs” School then went on to graduate Pottsboro High School (class of ’72) and attend Grayson College. It was during these young years that Alex developed his love of airplanes and flying, guided by special family friend and mentor, Bill McKeon. Having completed all his flight training, Alex soloed on his 16th birthday and earned his pilot’s license before he could legally drive a car. His most recent special project has been the refurbishing of his beloved Cessna L-19 Bird Dog U.S. Army Reconnaissance plane. Even as he struggled with his health, you could find him tinkering, tapping, grinding, and painting on his plane. It sits in the hangar today, Alex’s hands never again to touch the controls.

Alex loved hunting, fishing, flying, and all things adventure; he also loved dearly his friends from high school, his friends from his business world with whom he shared those adventures, including African safaris to fly fishing trips in Montana. One main love in his life was his work with Freemasonry. He followed in his father’s footsteps and achieved the status of 32nd degree Master Mason, ultimately becoming Worshipful Master of the George R. Reeves Masonic Lodge #396, serving in 1995 and 1997. Masonry changed Alex’s life, bringing him closer to God and family.

Alex followed his father as well when he assumed the family business, A.L. Moser Drilling in 1976 at the age of twenty-one. He built a tradition of quality service and integrity throughout the local community and surrounding Texoma area. Always by his side in the business was his dedicated, life-long friend, Ronnie Abston.

December 10th marks the anniversary of Alex and Susan, whose love for each other was evident to all. Their twenty-seven years together were filled with family, fun, and an insatiable appetite for adventure. Susan says on a daily basis, “Alex is the love of my life.”

Susan asks that the next time you are on Lake Texoma to think about Alex and know that it will be the final resting place of their ashes. The entire family built so many memories here on the lake and Alex will be returned to that water ever a part of all he loved.

“They say that water is life. If that is true, you will live forever.”

Funeral services will be 2:00 p.m. Sunday, December 27, 2015 at Johnson-Moore Pottsboro Chapel with Reverend Virgie Holbrook officiating.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, 2222 Welborn St., Dallas, TX 75219 or www.community.trshc.org.
Arrangements are under the direction of Johnson-Moore Funeral Home.

    One of my earliest memories of Alex is showing up at my parents house for some holiday, he greeted me at the door, I went in for a hug, he went in and licked my face. I thought “did that just happen, is he a complete weirdo?” From then on I went in for the hug with my face down :). He always tried to make me laugh. the hangar parties were like no other. I miss him so much. I am so very thankful that as I was talking to him on Thanksgiving, he said let’s take a picture together. He has left a hole in our hearts. Alex you are missed by so many. I know you were greeted by some pretty awesome people who passed before you. Until we meet again, I love you!

    This is Lee’s story of Alex. When Alex came out the first time to drill a well for Lee after Lee came to Texas in 1979 he asked Alex if he brought his witching stick with him. Lee knew nothing about putting in a well. Anyway Alex just laughed at him and said no, he knew where the water was & just point out where he wanted the well. Alex drilled it and hit the purest snow white sand, 70 ft of it and the best water in Grayson County. No filters were required on it as most wells require. And is still the best water around!!

    My heartfelt sympathy for you. Alex was a year ahead of me in good Ole PHS. We weren’t close friends, but in as small a school as we had, everybody was friends with everyone. God be with you at this time of year as well as each passing year. Sherry Hooks Wallis and family.

    I was thinking about Alex and my first experience flying. It was the early 80’s and I had never been flying. Alex took me flying over Lake Texoma in a green plane that had no doors and the only thing holding me in my seat was a lap belt. Through the years he was my boss, my teammate or opponent in volleyball, but most of all a good friend. His friendship never wavered in one of my darkest moments (Anthony’s illness & death). He loved flying, but most of all, he loved life. Alex, we are going to miss you.

    Susan, Ron and I will always remember when we first moved in that night you and Alex came over on 4 wheelers to welcome us to the neighborhood and gave us an adventurous ride back to your place . I will miss seeing you guys flying over the house, I know those were very happy times and we will miss him greatly. May God give you comfort and know we will always be available if you need us!

    There are many words that can be used to describe Alex Moser but one rises to the top for me “Character”. He was definitely one of those iconic Grayson County fixtures who touched many peoples lives and made alot of friends here. Over the years Alex attended many of the local conservation event fundraisers I have had the priviledge of working. He was always very supportive and like many of us, had a true love for the outdoors. From time to time I would have the opportunity to eat lunch with him at the well known Sherman resturant City Limits. We would swap stories about our hunting adventures and talk airplanes and guns. Every conversation I ever had with him was quite entertaining. He was fun to listen too. Alex was a “Character” for sure. His face will be missed around our fundraisers and everywhere else out in the community. Thanks for being such a good friend to many including me. May you rest in peace!
