Leonard Hugh Mosley, 73, left his earthly body on Feb. 27, 2007. Raymond Hill and Ruth Riley Mosley were Leonard's parents. He was born May 16, 1933, in Clarendon. The influence of his grandparents, Milton Winfield and Alamintya Angeline Craddock Mosley, and Leonard's beloved Aunt Ruby Bromley led him to accept Christ as his savior and baptism at an early age. All of his life he tried to deal fairly with friends, family and business associates. Leonard was a longtime member of Elmwood West Lions Club in Abilene. He supported the Children's Development Center and played Santa Claus during the holiday seasons. He loved to visit with children as did his father before him. Leonard graduated from Big Spring High School in 1951. He was soon employed by State National Bank "for the summer," as his plan was to prepare himself to be a history teacher. A part-time job at the Snack-A-Ritz shop led to the blessings and love of the Hagood and Kernodle families of Big Spring. The friendship continued all through the years of his life. While working at the bank, he met Modie Lorene Young of Weatherford. She was working at the Veterans Administration Hospital. They were married on July 1, 1956, by Dr. P.D. O'Brien. They celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 2006, followed by an inside passage cruise to Alaska with family and friends. Leonard was employed by Wilson State Bank in Wilson in late 1955. He accepted a job from First State Bank in Abilene in June 1957. He attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J., and graduated with a degree in banking. It was during this time period that he was nominated for the "Young Man of the Year" award. Though he did not win the award, he was pleased to have been nominated. In 1972, he moved to Cottonwood to work in Citizen's State Bank of Cross Plains and prepared himself to be a real estate broker. The family moved to Clyde in 1977. Leonard was an entrepreneur by instinct. He refurbished old houses, ranched, sold used cars and was a real estate broker. Together the couple shared interests in antiques, including vintage cars, and enjoyed weekend trips in these cars with good friends. He had a real knack for buying and selling. In 1968 Leonard and Modie began traveling abroad, enjoying the flavor of different countries. In 1985, Leonard's greatest adventures came by traveling in a motor home. The couple went to all the states for rallies with wonderful friends and fellow travelers. He served as president of the Bluebird Wander Lodge Family of Friends Chapter of the Family Motor Association. Special appreciation goes to the staff of Sears Home Service and especially to Mary, Tracey and Marion. Survivors include his wife, Modie; a son, Tim and Jan of Longview; a daughter, Susan and Leo Moore of Clyde; four grandchildren, Wendell Moore and Whitney Moore of Abilene, Allison Mosley of College Station and Ashley McMurray of Longview; a sister, Barbara and Von Johnston of Amarillo; a sister-in-law, Mary Mosley (widow of Jiggs); nieces and nephews, Jackie, Bobby Ray, Lynn, Tronda and LaDonna; and so many friends and traveling buddies.
