The bright colors on the palette of Moe's life gradually faded, became gray, and then washed away on Friday, October 14, 2011 due to Alzheimer's Disease.

Moe was born June 12, 1925 to Roydon and Melpha McCullough.

Raised in Salt Lake City, Moe attended East High School and graduated from the University of Utah in mechanical engineering.

Moe was a general contractor by profession. His avocations included skiing, gold prospecting, oil painting, and piloting 7571W.

In 1947, Moe fell in love and married a young nursing student from Gunnison, Utah, Wilma Farr, whom Moe acknowledged was the best part of his life. Together they raised four children: Christine Baxter (Jon), Jim McCullough (Natalie), Ann Hinckley (Scott), and Janice Crompton. He leaves a legacy of eleven grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.

Moe never saw a dirt road he didn't take, a snow covered slope that didn't beckon, or a sunset over the Tetons that didn't take his breath away.

Moe's life taught those who observed to drink from a full cup. He was fun without being frivolous and interesting without being pretentious.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 22, 2011 at Larkin Sunset Lawn, 2350 East 1300 South. Friends may call on the evening of Friday, October 21, 2011 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. as well as the hour prior to the services.

In remembrance of Moe, plan an adventure, tell a joke, carve a turn, tie a fly, or take a moment to appreciate the range of colors that fill an autumn sky.
