Bob was born July 23, 1925, at Kansas City, MO, to Moody Rudolph and Erma Mary (McMahon) Moser. In 1944, he graduated from Marysville High School. He entered the U.S. Army and was stationed in Stuttgart, Germany during the Korean War. In 1953, he was honorably discharged. On Aug. 7, 1954, he married Bernice Dwerlkotte at St. Gregory’s Catholic Church. Bob farmed all of his life north of Marysville and raised wheat, milo, corn, beans and had a cow/calf herd. Flexible farming hours allowed him to make room for his many hobbies which included motorcycles, guns, cameras, and of course his family and friends. He grew up and lived in the same neighborhood all of his life. He had a gift of telling stories about people, places and events that made up his life. He stashed things around the farm that reminded him of good times and good people. He could make you feel every drop of sweat, rain, sleet or snow as well as the joy of the people involved when relating why he was saving this or that. He always had something to say and a smile to go with it. Bob belonged to the Robert Moser Society; this society is a group of people who all share the same name, Robert Moser, across the United States. He attended several conventions over the years and even hosted the event in Marysville in 2007. He was preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Bill Moser. Survivors include his wife, Bernice; son, Steve Moser, Marysville; daughters, Mary (Twig) Marston, Norfolk, NE, Patti (Roger) Dollarhide, Newton, KS; sister, Mary Schwindamann, Topeka; 3 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson. A memorial fund has been established and will be designated at a later date. Contributions may be sent in care of Kinsley Mortuary.
