Bill was the youngest brother of Rural, Jewell, Homer, Dale, and Carl Moses, all of whom have preceded him in death. He was a World War II era veteran, serving in the U.S. Army.
Bill was also preceded in death by his wife, Avis Lorraine Moses and sons Anthony "Tony" Moses and Greg Moses. His surviving family are his daughter, Candy Russell (David) of Arkadelphia, son Perry Moses (Dana) of Jonesboro, Arkansas, and daughter in law Patti Moses.

The family gives great thanks to the wonderful nurses and aides at Twin Rivers Health and Rehab in Arkadelphia, AR, for providing the utmost care to our Dad during his last few months. We also express many thanks to Elite Hospice for assisting in making his final days peaceful.
We must also thank Mom and Dad's neighbors in Waldo, John and Anita Washington, who became wonderful family friends and provided love, friendship and help to them both through the years.
