I first met Mr. Mosley when I moved across the street from him in 2017. My favorite moments were walking my dogs and always stopping on his porch on the way back from the walk. We would sit and talk about anything and everything. I´ll never forget trying to convince him to do puzzles with me in the winter when there was nothing else to do but he insisted " I´m not a puzzle man." I recently became pregnant and told Mr Mosley there was a baby joining the neighborhood and he couldn´t have been more thrilled. He called and checked on me all the time. I was supposed to be induced and deliver my baby on Mr Mosley´s birthday and told him how honored I would be to have my son share his birthday with one of my favorite humans. Unfortunately my baby came a day early and Mr Mosley had passed before. I was so hopeful they would be able to meet.
My heart goes out to his family. He was truly my friend and I will miss him and our porch chats. I will still make sure I tell my son all about my beloved neighbor across the street. Sending my love and condolences. -Kacey
