He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Dr. Davis D. Moïse and Emily Cribb Moïse, and his older sister, Sally Moïse.

It was with great sadness that I read of John's passing. Unfortunately, we lost track of each other years back, but John was my springboard diving partner for two years at the College of Charleston. I remember the day that the announcer could not get his name correct - all day long, even after being corrected by me, and that is how he became "Mouse". Bugged him to no end. I also recall another 8-school meet, where John wanted to attempt a new dive...double reverse from the 3-meter board. This caused me to have to do a 3-meter dive that I was scared to death to attempt and had never done before. Well, ole Mouse finally talked me into it, we both had great dives, and we walked away with a medal at the end of the meet!
I am sad for everyone left behind, because I know of the joy he exuded to everyone around him.
I will also smile whenever I think of Mouse and Mikey.
