Moe was a Cayuga's Waiter (a triple Quartet at Cornell) and he sang with us in the mid-'50s). He was always "up-beat" - had a nice tenor voice - and a good friend. I am "kind of" the contact guy for the Waiters, and am sorry I didn't know of his passing until now. I talked to him in late 2016 (or early '17). He was a good friend (somewhat 'older' than the rest of us) and was very happy to hear of the news of our singing performances at the yearly Reunion weekends (12 years) at Cornell. He will always be remembered.
