Not sure what to say?

Dan Moy, the man that planted in the seed I the back of my mind that I wanted to teach. 15,000 students later I still ask myself... what would Mr. Moy do? Thanks for leading me down this path Dan.

A good friend of my father and a great teacher/coach/friend of mine. There are too many stories and too much to say that I can even try and convey it here. Thank you Dan Moy. Mickey Clary

Always a word of encouragement from Dan Moy to the out of town runners. Dan was a joy to be around, Ill always remember Dan watching Craig Virgin run at a sectional held at the State Hospital.
We will miss Dan Moy !

He touched so many young lives by his example and leadership, and so many others by his tireless, personal, dedication to serve his community in many, many ways. He was a friend that will be very much missed and always remembered as an example for a life of service well lived

Hi Patsy. I'm so sorry for your loss. Dan was one of the "men" in my life. It was Freshman football practice in 1964. I was scared to death having never gone out for a football team. Intimidated and so careful. Coach Moy settled me down, gave me confidence, laughed at my mistakes and gave me the fix at the same time. So encouraging! I started out in the 1st game as a defensive end on an undefeated football team. He showed me how to become a young man with a plan. He influenced so many young...

Happy personality along with a great smile is what Dan brought to our lives. May he RIP

I will miss Dan greatly. He first was a mentor and then became a friend. I do not know why he picked me but I am glad he did. Sharing his experience and knowledge without passing judgement on my lack of experience as a teacher and a coach was always appreciated. Upon his retirement we hunted birds often. That was a lot of fun. God has always placed men of faith in my presents to help guide me. Dan was one of those men.

Remembering Dan. So sorry for your loss.

Sending our condolences and prayers to Dan and his family during this difficult time. He was a Wonderful Educator and Caring individual .
