Red was born in East Los Angeles. The Depression brought Red and his family to the Central Velley where he graduated from Visalia High School. He joined the army serving in the Philippines during World WW II.
Upon his return home for WWII Mose met Nellie Loya on a blind date set up by his best friend who was dating her sister. The moment he saw her, he knew they were going to be married and they were for over 64 years. Nellie and Mose raised seven daughter.
Daddy work two jobs, working over 40 years for the US Post Office to make sure his daughters were cared for and could enjoy family vacation. He took the girls to art galleries, large cities and the central coast all on a Sunday drive.
Papa was our hero. He was an artist. He was our pillar of strength from a metaphorical and literal perspective as Papa did push-ups and sit-ups daily into his 90's. He was quick-witted and sarcastic when he was comfortable with someone. He enjoyed boxing, MMA, yard work, reading a good buffet and Julio Iglesias (just kidding, Papa!).
Moises is lovingly remembered by his daughters, Sandra Dennison (Robert), Christina Prieto (Hector), Joyce Fosberg , Lois Duarte (Rod), Wanda Montoya (Jess), Belinda Day (Gary) and Rose Ellis; grandchildren, Carey, Jennifer, Ben, Kaelin Joy, Emily, Kasia, Matthew, Michel, Jillian, Blake, Garrett, Brooks, Stephanie, Hannah, Jeremy, Jared, and Parker; and 19 great grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, you are encouraged to support the VA, have a meal with a loved on, paint, rescue a creature no matter how small, be giving and charitable and love everyone equally.
For those that will be attending the reception, the family would appreciate you having received the vaccination for Covid or to have a negative covid test within 72 hours.
