SOUTH NEWFANE, VT ---- George P. Moser Jr., of South Newfane, Vermont, died peacefully surrounded by family, on Sunday, November 19, 2023.
George grew up in Weehawken, New Jersey, and as a youngster he summered in South Newfane, Vermont. He attended high school at Vermont Academy, graduating in the Class of 1948. George was a graduate of Brown University and Rutgers University Law School. After completing his formal education, George went into practice with his father at the firm of Moser, Roveto, McGough and Von Shaumberg in Union City, New Jersey. In 1987, he was appointed as a justice of the New Jersey Superior Court, presiding over a courtroom in Jersey City until his retirement in 1991.
When George was not busy practicing law, he took great delight in spending time with his children and their cousins and friends, often towing them around Lake Winnipesaukee on water skis for hours, day after day. A favorite Saturday activity was taking his kids bowling. George loved deer hunting in Vermont, especially the annual hunting weekend with his law partners. Upon retiring, George moved into the family farm in South Newfane, fulfilling his lifelong dream of retiring in Vermont. In later years, he became a good blackjack player, sometimes competing in tournaments in Niagara Falls.
George met his future wife, Nancy Morse, at Brown. They married in 1954 and had four children, all of whom survive him: Charles Moser of Mason, NH, Susan Moser of Sheboygan, WI, Robert Moser (with wife, Michelle), of Fogelsville, PA, and Sarah Taylor (with significant other, Phil Mann) of South Newfane, VT. Nancy Moser died in 2002. George was also predeceased by his sister Jane Ryder, and his companion Roberta "Becky" Lincoln. He is survived by two nephews, Andrew Ryder and William Ryder, and also by his grandchildren: Natalie Moser, Shane Siebels, Kenneth Siebels, Maxwell Moser, Mason Moser, and Colby Taylor. George is also survived by three wonderful great grandchildren.
