2/6/2021

7 Comments

 
George H. Moesch lived in Totowa for 91 years. He was the beloved husband of Loretta (Soltys) for over 67 years, where they raised their family of three children. He was the devoted father of Jacqueline Krygsman, and her husband Andy, George J. Moesch, and his wife Joan and Maryann Fiore and her husband Joseph. George and Loretta's family includes 5 Grandchildren and 2 Great Grandchildren.
George served in Korea as the first person in charge of Training 8th Army Personnel, in leadership abilities, until the Chinese sent one million troops to assist North Korea (1951). He volunteered for frontline duty and was assigned to the 933AA Artillery Batoon, in charge of a 40mm Gun Position and another gun position, that included four 50 Caliber Machine guns. He returned home from Korea in 1952 from active duty.
George was a member of the Totowa V.F.W. and the NJ American Legion. He completed G.I. schooling for locksmithing and attended the Newark N.J. Radio and TV Repair Institute. George worked in Prudential (Newark and Roseland N.J.) for 45 years. He retired in 1992 after having worked IBM Business machine operations, management, and Technical Problem Solving for all the Prudential major computer rooms in the country. He was also responsible for the management of the Roseland N.J. Computer Center Building (Building Management Division) for 17 years. George was active in Totowa community affairs having served in the First Aid Squad and as a member of the Happy Seniors. He also worked with management of the N.J. Highway Department to upgrade a protective Guard Rail, installed on Route 80 (West), to protect the children's adjacent playground on Bogert Street.
George worked with Congressman Bill Pascrell to have sound barriers erected on Route 80 (West) in Totowa.
George and his family enjoyed many trips to the NJ shore and the Cape Hatteras, N.C. seashore. He also spent a lot of time on home projects and gardening (many people walking or driving by his property enjoyed stopping and looking at the several hundred Tulips, Daffodils, etc. he planted every year). His Dogwood Trees, Crepe Myrtle and flowering shrubs on his property also attracted similar praise from onlookers.
Funeral arrangements are being taken care of by the Gaita Memorial Home, 154 Newark Pompton Turnpike, Little Falls, NJ (Route 23). A Graveside service will be held on Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at 1 PM at Laurel Grove Memorial Park, 295 Totowa Rd., Totowa. Meet directly at Laurel Grove.

Dear pop pop,
You are missed so much already. We were so blessed to have so many wonderful years with you, and to especially be right next door growing up. You always took great care of everyone around you, and were always interested in everything anyone had to say and what they were working on. You could have a conversation with anyone and become great friends. Sunday breakfast coming in and you sitting at the table in your morning routine, reading by the window, waving to all of us by the window with gab, teaching Desmond about the lights in the living room, putting the fire place on and Christmas music, in the garden with your little hat, sitting on the swing- seeing the first mosquito and heading inside (haha) teaching us how to fish, teaching us about all the tools and how to use them, telling us all your stories about when you were little, I could go on forever. We will miss you so much. When I think of home I think of you and gab. I will teach Desmond everything he needs to know about life just like you taught all of us. And I will tell him all about you and all that you gave us. I wish you could have seen him one more time. You’d be amazed just like you always were. Love you so much.

Our condolences to the entire family. 🙏🏽❤️🌹
I believe I (Ed) graduated with George, Jr., and know that the strong values instilled within Mr. Moesch’s children and grandchildren will continue to honor his memory and life.

I am sad to hear of Georges’ passing. I worked at Pru in CSSO Roseland when I was very young. George would tell stories of his service in Korea. And family trips to Hatteras. He had a few colorful saying that I’m sure his kids have heard plenty. My time with George in part made me the man I am today. Rest In Peace George!
