Laconia----Gene Sylvanus Moses Sr., 78, died Friday on September 27, 2019 at the Belknap County Nursing Home with his loving wife, Charlene and family by his side, following a period of failing health due to Parkinsonism.
Gene was born in West Rumney, NH on November 10, 1940 to the late Sylvanus William Moses and Loretta (Dukette) Moses.
Gene was such an intelligent man who was jack of all trades and master of all. His very favorite endeavor was designing and building production machinery. He could take what we would call scrap and make a masterpiece of it. He had so many skills such as electrician, plumbing, engineering, building construction, drilled ledges to help build Interstate 93 near Plymouth, and also built bridges, worked in sawmills for over 20 years. He served in the US Army where he became a heavy equipment engineer. Just to name a few.
There wasn’t a day that didn’t go by where he was helping someone. He had such a great heart and compassion for helping people. He also loved his children with all of his heart. He often said he wished he would have spent more time with them when they were young instead of working all the time. He will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Gene is survived by the love of his life, his wife Charlene Moses of 36 years, his daughters Joyce Cameron and her husband, Nick of Gilford, Betty Stefanik and her husband, John of Hooksett, Donna Moses of Bristol; his sons Gene S. Moses Jr., and his wife, Lorna of Claremont, and Danny Moses of Danbury; his sisters Velma Cheney of Florida, Beverly Moses of Concord, Cathy Adams and her husband, Vernal of Hill, Virginia Reynolds and her husband, Charlie of New Hampton, Lucille Moses of Hill; and his brothers Royal Moses and John Moses both of Hill; 12 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, 4 great-great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind numerous close friends too many to name individually, but he loved each of you very much, especially Starlin Morrison & his family. Gene was predeceased by his daughter Kathy Moses, three sisters Violet Moses, Geraldine (Moses) Eaton, Barbara (Moses) Reed, and one brother Anthony Moses.
We want to thank Hospice for their loving care they have provided in our delicate needs. Their support in the comfort care was heaven sent.
The family wishes to thank all the staff at Belknap County Nursing Home for their excellent care and for treating Gene with dignity, respect and for making him laugh. There are many angels working there who truly love the ones they care for. Thank you for all you did.
A very special thank you to my wonderful cousins Judy Petit and Carolee Arsenault who have been here for me so many times, such great support and love, will always be remembered.
