Gib was surrounded at his bedside in his home by his loving family, their ever closeness and caring support with him to the end. Gib was born July 12, 1926, in Del Rio, Washington to Ramie and Sylvia (Bushard) Moser, the youngest of five children. The Moser family moved to the Methow Valley in the 1930's. The Methow was home for Gib's family until his older brother, Irving John, became ill and died at the age of 11. During this difficult time, the family relocated to Oroville where they established their final roots. Gib grew up during the Great Depression and the Second World War. As a youth, he learned what the value of life was truly about. He loved participating in athletic events throughout his school years, a passion he enjoyed throughout life. World War II was the headlines when Gib graduated from Oroville High School in 1945. Gib's next step was to serve his country in the U.S. Army. That extraordinary time was to make a deep impression on him. Following the end of the Second World War he was honorably discharged from the military, returning to his Oroville family and community. The beginning of the 1950's, he and his wife, Shirley, moved to the Okanogan-Omak area where they lived the next 15 years. He was employed by the Okanogan Co. Sheriff's Dept. as a Deputy, under the then Okanogan Co. Sheriff, Lester H. (Curly) Moss and later as Chief Deputy under Sheriff Gordon V. Jones. Moving forward with opportunities, he later on joined Hodgson Tractor Co. as a farm equipment salesman continuing there until moving to Oroville. Gib began his business career in Oroville in 1965, when he became the Standard Oil Co. of Calif. Wholesale distributor for the Oroville area. During the following 11 years, he successfully worked to build the business to the company's expectations. That was to end, however, when Standard Oil began consolidating their independent dealerships and ceased the Oroville Operation. The next and final business venture was the purchase of an unbranded petroleum business, 1714 Main Oroville. This was to become Moser's Petroleum, to eventually be branded "Exxon" and to span from 1976 to 1999. Hard work, long hours, but a rewarding life as this place of business became home away from home, where customers were important, where family gathered and friends stopped to visit. Located across Hwy 97 from the Catholic Church, there were to be special connections affiliated with whatever was happening there. It was during this time, Gib was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and his health became a concern. Gib is past worshipful master of Aurora Lodge, Free and Accepted Mason. He is past president of the Oroville Kiwanis Club, Past Rainbow for Girls "Rainbow Dad", a long time member of Oroville American Legion and a member of the Oroville United Methodist Church. Youth involvement through coaching sports was a big part of Gib's life. Now as adults, those youth Gib coached, remember this through Little League, Pony League and Babe Ruth. Gib is survived by his wife of 55 years, Shirley; children, Debbie Vander Woude (Arlo) and grandchildren, Molly and Megan of Twisp, Kathy (Mark) Gordon of Omak and grandchildren, John of Wenatchee and Katie of Georgetown, Colorado, Greg (Diane) Moser and grandchildren, Daniele, Gerad, Whitney and Corbin of Oroville, and Susan (Ryan) Smith and grandchildren, Ashley, Kelsey, Jayden and Tanner of Oroville. In addition, Gib is survived by many cherished nieces and nephews. Gib was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Hazel and Violet; brothers, Ray and Irving John; and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Bill and Grace Naggy. Memorial Services will be held Saturday, April 23, 2005, at the Oroville United Methodist Church at 11:00 a.m. Pastor Jin Ming Ma and Reverend Robert Campbell officiating. Interment will follow at the Oroville Riverview Cemetery. In Gib's memory, donations may be made to the Oroville United Methodist Church or the Oroville Ambulance. Arrangements are by Bergh Funeral Home.
