It will be 50 years on August 8th when he delivered my first child. After delivery, he stayed with me while my husband went to call family. He never left my side until my husband came back. I know this post is years since he passed, but he is still remembered.

My sincere condolences to the family. Dr Moyer was a teacher of mine as a resident in OBGYN. I loved his enthusiasm for his job, his approach to patients, his constant joy of living. I can't help but remembering his ever present smile.

Dear Jeannie and Family,
We are sorry to learn about Don's passing. I fondly remember our battles on the squash court, the happy days on the ski hills and just his genuine friendship. I always admired his zest for life and his competitive spirit. I will miss him, but I hope he finds some good skiing in heaven.
