Leland David Moss went home to be with his Lord and Savior on March 26, 2006,
after 71 years of a full and rewarding life. 

Lee grew up in Southern Utah and always held a strong fondness in his heart for 
the high desert country. During his lifetime, his spirit of adventure and 
willingness to take risks led him to live and work in many places before 
finally settling in Washington, where he nurtured the deep love of the ocean 
that he had obtained while in the Navy. A painter by trade, he also served in 
both the Army and the Navy, where his travels took him to Japan, Hong Kong and 
Korea and during which he served on an aircraft carrier in the Korean War. He 
also worked in the boom days of the oil fields of Wyoming and Montana and in 
copper mining in Utah. His favorite job, however, was managing remote camps all 
over the western United States. All of these journeys allowed him to pursue his 
life's passion, which was his love of the greatoutdoors. His greatest gift to 
his wife, his four sons and his daughter was to instill this love of nature and 
the sense of freedom to fully explore and enjoy it. His fearlessness in making 
life-changing decisions instilled in his children the same fearlessness in 
meeting life's challenges head on. 

He has embarked on his final great adventure leaving behind his wife, 5 
children and their spouses, 10 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. He is 
our beloved husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and great-grandfather 
and we miss him immensely. 

A memorial will be scheduled in late April to celebrate his life and our time 
with him here on earth.
