Moe
You are sadly missed by many. You took good care of Sherry when you were alive, and I know that you will do the same if not more now that you are watching over her and Sassy.

You are missed by many and known to too few.

Uncle Moe,
Our time together will always be treasured. Even though you were always mellow and just seemed to be taking in the sights and sounds around you, I could always see just a hint of mischief glistening behind those handsome eyes.
You jumped right into action for our family when we needed you. I know that I could never pay you back directly, but know this - at some point in my life, I will pay it forward with the same unselfishness and generosity that you showed me.
I will have you in my heart forever. Thank you and God Bless.

Uncle Mo you will be so sadly missed. I have no idea at his point what to say to you but just know how special you are and always will be. Willie needed someone and you filled that bill so nicely. You and that Dunton Charm. I love you Uncle Mo. Thank you for everything you did for Dad. I wish you would have let us do the same for you But it's just like you to not want anyone to worry or as you would say make a fuss over you. Rest in peace Uncle Mo and say hi to Dad for me.

MOE,
WHERE DO I STARTON SOME THING LIKE THIS LETTEROR NOTE OR WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT ????FIRST I BELIEVE THAT I MUST SAY YOU WERE LONG BEFORE YOU WERE ASKED LIKE AFTER A BIG WIND, YOU ALREADY HAD THE EVES CLEANED AND HAD MY UNIT CLEANED AND HAD CHECKED FOR ANY DAMAGE.
THERE WAS ONE TIME THAT I MADE A BIG MISTAKE. YOU AND SHERRY OWNED THAT VAN THAT WOULD TAKE SIX OR SEVEN PEOPLE AND YOU WERE TAKING ALL OF US ALL OVER THE PLACE, WELLL TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I GAVE YOU A TEN DOLLAR BILL TO PAY FOR THE GAS.. YOU TOOK IT BUT IT VERY CLEAR THAT I WAS NOT TO DO THAT EVER AGAIN!!!!!!
I MUST SAY THAT YOU DID HELP ME WITH MY POOL GAME. I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT WHAT TO DO , I MEAN I KNOW THAT YOU TAKE THE WHITE BALL AND HIT THE OTHER BALL, BUT I MEAN IS THAT TO LEAVE THE WHITE BALL FOR THE NEXT SHOT AND ASO ON AND SO ON WAS WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO.BY THE WAY MOE JOAN WANTS ME TO TELL YOU THAT THE JOKES YOU ALWAYS TOLD US FOLKS WERE NOT BAD AND THE WAY YOU TOLD THEM, YOU COULD ALMOST TELL THEM IN CHURCH!! SHE ALSO NEVER HEARD THE ONES YOU ONLY TELL US GUYS AND I HAVE TO GO ALONG WITH HER, YOU NEVER DAID ANYTHINGBAD ABOUT ANYONE.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND GOD BLESS YOU AND BE WITH YOU.
WITH ALL OUR LOVE JOAN & BILL

Hey Maurice, I'm gonna miss you !! But I know that where you are there is no suffering. Which I did not want you to do. I grew to love you as a brother-in-law, It really was'nt that hard :) You was a great friend and I will never forget the cribbage tournaments, The dances at the eagles club !! Or how about playing pool.,Hmmm one of those pool games in particular, is so fresh in my memory, You and Sherry was CRAZY fun !!! The poker games, fishing, Meat auctions, Geez everything.. you were a big part of my life and, a tremendous help whenever I needed it. And you brought my sister many years of happiness, I only wish you were here for more. It is hard to think of you as gone, But you will never be forgotton. You'll be in my heart forever, and I will always hold my wonderful memories of all the good times we shared together, close at heart. Good-bye dear friend. With Love, Dot

Maurice "Moe" Dunton was liked by everyone. His humor, smile, helpfullness , and competitive spirit were admired and respected by all who enjoyed his company. There will be an emptyness in our future actions and lives which will remain unfilled due to his passing. We will greatly miss him at Frontier Campground. We were honored to have known him and to have called him friend. We will keep his memory in our hearts as God has him in his hands. Russ and Judy Brown
