He was a dedicated employee at Osram Sylvania in Rhode Island where he retired from after 35 years. From there he went on to deliver newspapers for the Sun Chronicle for 4 years. Moe was a dedicated father who gave his unwavering support to his children especially with their passions for sports. Starting with Erin's figure skating career where he would attend her practices no matter how early the start times and her all her competitions to cheer her on from the sidelines to Mathew's motocross racing where he was his own personal mechanic and pit crew. Moe truely enjoyed traveling in their family motorhome, whether it was with the family to Cape Hatteras or the motocross track or traveling cross country with Carol, those times and memories meant alot to him and his family. Moe was an avid Boston sports fan with the Red Sox and Patriots being his favorites, so much that his family bought and dedicated a brick with his name on it at Fenway park, so he will never have to miss a home game.
