Harry Moser, 92, of Wren, Ohio passed away at 11:42 a.m. on Wednesday, January 9, 2019 at Majestic Care of New Haven, where he had been a resident for the past three months. He was born on August 2, 1926 in the same house where he resided in Wren, Ohio to Earl and Mary (Case) Moser. He was married on June 5, 1949 to Joyce Ward.

He was an honorably discharged veteran of the United States Army, having served during World War II and achieving the rank of private. He attended the Calvary Evangelical Church in Van Wert, Ohio with his wife prior to her death. He was also a member of the American Legion Post #43 in Decatur. He supported his community by being involved with the Wren Volunteer Fire Department for over 30 years and also served on the Van Wert County Sheriff’s Department as an auxiliary officer for 23 years. He was a lifelong farmer and retired from Tokheim in Fort Wayne after 42.5 years of service.

He loved to tinker around his farm. He had to stay busy. He enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was known to help people, which kept him busy, and he didn’t know a stranger. Family was important to him, and he followed them wherever they went. He was a caring and ornery father, which accelerated when he became a grandfather.
