Dear Moser Family:
We would like to say in the honor/remembrance of Mr. Moser, as he was known to us, that he was a very important person as he was a teacher. He taught many things to a lot of kids no matter what class they were in and he was a great person to get along with as well. Mr. Moser will always be missed and never forgotten.

I'm sorry to say I didn't ever get a chance to meet Andy, from all that I hear he was a wonderful person. I knew his mother who taught Art at Peters Township Middle School and she is such a wonderful person, it sounds like Andy followed in her footsteps.
My prayers got out to the Moser family. He will be greatly missed by all.

Dear Moser Family:
I have some many fond memories of Andy from our high school days. No one could play the quads as well as Andy, and he was such a gentle soul. My deepest sympathies to all of you.

Dear Anita, Rich, Jen and Chrissy,
Connie Booth called me this morning and asked me if I knew anything about Andy. John saw some comments from former students on Facebook. That brought me to this place. It's been almost 40 years since the Moser family came into my life. You were and are a loving, fun, energetic and wonderful family! I am heartbroken at the loss of such a wonderful soul. We've both moved and lost touch but know that we still care and love you all! We are keeping you close in our hearts and prayers.
Love, Robin and Mike Konkle

Dear Moser family,
I am so sorry to hear of Andy's passing. Your family was so kind and hospitable to me when I would come over. It doesn't surprise me that Andy grew up to be the same way. I remember the times at Mrs Carson's house with Andy and Paul growing up. He always had a great sense of humor. You are in my thoughts. RIP

Mr. Moser was the best teacher I have ever had. I was just talking about how I wanted to go see him because I just graduated and would have liked to talk to him again. It's so upsetting to hear about his passing. May he Rest In Peace.

I was part of Andy's DQ family in high school and feel sincere sadness at the news of his death. I always liked Andy and had many fun evenings working together which was more fun, than work. Although you don't see someone for many years, it is so sad to know he is no longer a part of this world. It is apparent that he grew to be a wonderful man who touched so many lives with his teaching and music. Although it is hard to find comfort now, know that he will continue to touch the lives of those he loves from heaven. My prayers to his entire family for peace in the future to come.

My thoughts and prayers are with all who loved him!!! I will always be grateful for the impact he had on my boys as a teacher!!!! When we first moved to Springfield they had a hard time adjusting and feeling like the belonged!!! He took the time to make them feel special and even took the time to call me and let me know how great they were doing to subside my worries....he will be greatly missed and our family feels blessed to have known him

So sorry for this sad loss of an outstanding person, teacher, and friend. That's how I knew Andy in our brief contacts in NW district schools. May God give you peace and comfort as you grieve the loss of him much too soon here in our presence on earth.

My sincere condolences to the entire Moser family. I knew Andy as his band director in Middle School. He was a joy to have in the band and had one of the greatest percussionist I had. I knew than he would be a success in the music world. I wished I knew him asa young man. Again this is such a tragedy for his family. Anita, god be with you and you are in my prayers.

Moser Family, I am so lucky I got to grow up with Andy and all of you. Our Bebout crew was a strong one, and the memories will last forever. My heart breaks for you all, and every one that knew him. He was such a funny character and truly caring person. We were ALL lucky to have him in our lives in one way or another. I hope you find strength during this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss. I was one of his students in a sense. It was after I was in 2nd grade when he took over for my previous teacher. But even so, I remember him when I was in elementary school and he was such a awesome and amazing person/teacher. Seeing him teach all those younger kids. Putting all that he could into it. I remember him fondly in short memories. He'll be missed by everyone I'm sure. He touched his students in the time that he had. Loved all his friends and family. Made his colleagues laugh. Had good times and bad times and made the best of what he had and the time the universe gave him.

I enjoyed the opportunity to work with Andy when my job involved a partnership with the Northwestern School District. Memories of friendly banter around the Springfield Elementary lunch table warm my heart. To family, friends and co-workers, I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Rich, Anita and Family,
What can I say that can bring comfort to you at a time like this, except keep your faith in knowing that someday we will all be reunited as one. I can still remember Andy and Paul playing together as little kids at Mrs. Carson's, growing up together, and Andy working for me at the South Hills YMCA pool. What a great young man, fine musician and teacher like his folks. He will surely be missed by all.
