Hello Moss family.
You don’t know me but I have a drawing of Mr.Moss’. Apparently when he served in the Marines, he knew my great-grandfather E A Pollock. My GG was a Lt. Colonel at the time and commanded the first and second battalions of the 1st Marine Division on Guadalcanal. Mr.Moss must’ve drawn this picture from my GG since it is addressed to him in the drawing. He has also signed it in two places. The drawing depicts the battle of the Tenaru river in which my GG commanded the battalions and was subsequently awarded the navy cross for valor. That’s the second highest honor in the military. I have always been curious about the man who drew this illustration. I didn’t find this obituary right away. After reading it I see the Mr.Moss was an amazing person. I’m proud to own this little piece of history between my family and yours and hope you are well.

My condolences to all of Don's family. He was the consummate gentleman, devoted family man, the best of illustrators and a fine Marine. Don's personality and mannerism were were only a portion of his quality traits. He will be greatly missed.

We knew of Mr. Moss only through our working relationship with his son, Don, as colleagues at Dechert-Hampe Consulting and MossWarner -- the firm that bears his name. But that is more than enough tribute to let us understand the delight Mr. Moss must have brought to friends and family, and the talent that he shared with the world. We are grateful to have his son as our friend and colleague, and we wish him and the entire Moss family the very best.

Speaking with Mr. Moss, either on the telephone or in person, was an entertaining experience. His jovial attitude, charm and impeccable manners were always on display. He treated everyone as though they were as special as himself; and he was very special. I feel very privileged to have known the gentleman who had so much talent and so much grace. My sincere condolences to Mrs. Moss and family.

We were your neighbors in Ridgefield and loved Don. He was the sweetest, most modest, and most talented person. His love for Sally and the children was always evident. My God rest his soul and bless his family. family.

Dear Elizabeth,
Condolences to you and yours on the passing of your very accomplished father. I'm in VT this weekend and regret not being able to attend his service this morning. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

It was our very sincere pleasure to meet Don (and Sally) during a visit to the area with Cliff & Shirley. Since we were forturnate enought to have attended the '80 Winter Olympics it was an honor to meet the artist responsible for the Lake Placid Racoon theme symbol and hear of his many artistic accomplishments.
We send our sincere sympathy to Sally and family as they grieve with this loss.
