Dale D. Moss

Dale D. Moss, age 71, of Dover, died Friday, January 25, 2013, in his residence following a brief illness.

A son of the late Greely and Eunice (Sears) Moss, Dale was born at Tuscarawas County on August 10, 1941.

He attended Dover High School and joined the workforce at an early age prior to enlisting in to the United States Army. Upon his discharge, Dale returned to the Tuscarawas Valley and began working for East Sparta Ceramic Tile for more than 30 years prior to retiring.

In his free time, Dale enjoyed hunting, watching classic western and war movies as well as traveling with his companion to historical places throughout the United States. Most of all, Dale enjoyed the company of family and friends and especially enjoyed hanging out every week with his special friends Jack and Helen Furniss and Bob Limbacher.
