Richard L. Moeller

I met Rick when he sold me some hay for my sheep back in 2002. Looking back on it, it is amazing that we became friends - he thought cattle were far superior to sheep and I am a registered Democrat! But we had lots in common, including our love of agriculture, and Rick provided me with great farming advice over the years. He could be a gruff man, but he also had a sensitive side that was less apparent. Like that he fed a toothless old barn cat canned food and the story he told me of the...

I met Rick when I moved here in 2001 from Solana Beach, California. We got acquainted and discovered that when he was active in the U. S. Marine Reserves at Naval Air Station, Los Alamitos, California, I was active in a Navy Air Transport Squadron there. But, our paths never crossed while completing our reserve obligations. I will certainly miss Rick.

Rick will be missed by all who knew him. We will miss out talks about the cattle industry and which breed was best - black or red. Lunch at Marys is not the same without him.

My mother, Margaret Putnam Hesse, went to high school with Rick and then I got acquainted with him when I would visit St. Peter's when my uncle George was pastor. Rick was always friendly to me and seemed to have a nice sense of humor. I was sorry to hear of his passing.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Sometimes he would come down to the beach with Marlene and Tom. He loved the salmon dinners. Treasure all your happy memories.
