Robert John Moossy

Robert ("Bob") John Moossy died on September 12, 2025, in Katy, Texas, after a rapid decline from Alzheimer's. He was 86.

Bob was born in Gladewater, Texas, to Peter and Venus Moossy, and was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Victor, and his sister Brenda.

He is remembered as a husband, father and grandfather who loved his family and told them so, who accepted us as we are, gave us confidence in ourselves, and who filled our lives with laughter, adventure, and happiness - and snoopy drawings and toys. Together we laughed, skied, scuba dived, canoed, ran aground on his boat, fished, and ate dessert. His family and friends will always remember his big heart, twinkly eyes, pranks, and racy jokes.

Bob began his professional life as an officer in the United States Navy. Following his military service, he pursued a long career with Merrill Lynch, working in the Dallas, Lubbock, and Houston, Texas, offices before spending many years in the Fort Myers, Florida, office, where retired at age 72.

In 1986, Bob married Margaret, the love of his life. Together they enjoyed traveling the world, skiing, scuba diving, and socializing with their family and many friends. During those years, Bob and Margaret made their home on Sanibel Island, Florida. Life there centered around the Sanctuary Golf Club, where he spent countless hours on the golf course and many afternoons sharing cigars, poker games, and conversation with friends. Boating, golf, and island life defined his later years and remained among his greatest pleasures.

In 2022, Bob and Margaret relocated to Katy, Texas, to be closer to family.

Bob is survived by his wife of 38 years, Margaret Moossy; six children-Robert, Peter, Michael, and Teresa Moossy from his first marriage to Kathleen Haggerty, and Paul Theriot and Kristi Turner, who joined his family when he married Margaret; and five grandchildren-Anna, Beatrice, Edith, Reagan, and Ruby. He is also survived by the current and former partners of his children: Christy, Kipp, Lisette, and Rayce. And, his dog Max.

The family is planning a memorial service at Sanibel Island in the Spring.
