I knew John when he was stationed at Wright Patterson in Dayton, Ohio. He was a very good friend of mine during that time. God Bless!

I have fond childhood memories of time spent at the Moellenberg´s house with their daughter Lynn. Mr Moellenberg typically had projects galore going on, but he always had time for a smile and "hello".
Sending my sincerest condolences to Lynn, Susan, Lauren and Johnny. You are all in our thoughts.

My sincere condolences to John's family.
As step-cousins, I have known John since childhood. I followed his example in attending CBC but lost touch in recent years. Peggy was my wife, Jo's roommate at Webster College. They are both fondly remembered.

I had the privilege of working for Mr. Moellenberg at Southwestern Bell. He was an excellent boss and a wonderful person! His division had a huge 50th birthday celebration for him including big band music that we played over the intercom all day. I have many happy memories of him. My sincere and deepest sympathy to his family.

I am truly sorry to hear of your dad´s passing. He was a wonderful man who loved his family so much. I have many great memories of him that I will cherish. He was so much fun to talk to and always had a smile on his face. He will be missed by many.

The Moellenbergs have always been more like family than neighbors! John never stopped! I will always remember him working, either on his lawn or driveway.
He loved to tell stories that seemed to never end because there was always "one more thing"! He enjoyed his life which centered around his children and their children. He was a proud papa and great friend!
Love Pam & Marty
We will miss our dear next door neighbor!
