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...

Dear Sally and Family - my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I feel very fortunate to have known Donald and my kids and I will remember him very fondly everytime we visit the church and see his work. An amazing life led by a true American hero with great talent.

Sending my condolences. Don was a wonderful man, gracious, friendly, sincere, and a terrific artist.

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.
