Gerald Francis Moses April 13, 1942 to February 21, 2017

Born in Annapolis Royal to the late Donald and Evelyn Moses, Gerald leaves to mourn his wife of 53 years, Vina, daughters: Annetta Moses-Gorman, Cindy Moses and Wendy (Jeff) Zegray; grandchildren: Alexa, Samantha & Brandon Gorman, Justin Marriott, Nicholas Zegray; step-grandchildren: Kristen, Michael and Branden Zegray. A special addition is his Great Grandbaby girl, six-month old Eliana MacArthur. Gerald was very proud of his children and grandchildren and delighted in their accomplishments. A schoolteacher of 39 years, Gerald always said he never did get out of Junior High. Gerald not only graduated from Harkins Academy in Newcastle, NB but he began his teaching career there before moving and teaching in Halifax and Dartmouth. He was a talented musician playing lead guitar in 50/60 Rock ‘n Roll bands both on the Miramichi, N.B.including The Reunion Band and in the South Shore of Nova Scotia with Bluestar and The Silvertones with his wife and Melinda Naugler. He loved playing country bass with Dale Verge and Doin Country and backing local musicians. A musical celebration of his life will be held for family and friends at the Liverpool Legion, Sunday, March 5th from 2-5. His family extends a big thank you to 911, RCMP, ME Staff, Liverpool Fire Department and especially his daughter Annetta- an ICU nurse who bravely performed CPR until the paramedics came who sought to extend his life. We truly appreciated their efforts. Donations in Gerald’s memory may be made to QCCR Community Radio, PO Box 1244, Liverpool, NS or to the Hank Snow Home Town Museum, PO Box 1419, Liverpool, NS B0T 1K0.

  55. Don Graham

    I am deeply saddened upon hearing of Gerry’s passing. I met Gerry as a new teacher at Graham Creighton back in 1986-87 and worked with him on several terms, meticulously planning and subbing in for him during some extended sabbaticals and absences. Many of the lessons and resources that we co-planned were used (and sometimes still are used) throughout my career. Ironically, Gerry found his way down the South Shore, as did I – having spent over 20 years working out of province and returning to NS five years ago. I spent several weeks at Liverpool HS over the past four years, heard of his band and some of his fellow members. Unfortunately we never reacquainted. He truly was one of my teaching hero mentors and I wished I would’ve been able to share that with him! My utmost and most sincere condolences to Gerry’s family.

  56. Kevin,Crystal,Chris Traynor

    Vina and family,

    So sorry to hear about your loss. He was such a good man and we know you will miss him dearly. Take comfort in knowing you will all meet again and your sadness will be gone. Until then, hold tight to your memories.

  57. Wendy Lynn andFred Reeves

    so sad to hear that Gerald had passed into Heaven although he is in a beautiful place. He will be missed by all who knew him and played music withhim. He was a great guy. We will not be able to attend his service as we are out of country but wanted you to know you are in our hearts and prayers. Hugs to you and your family. May he RIP.

  58. Carol and Charles Chappelle

    To Vina and family, Charles and I wish you our heart felt condolences. It has been many long years since we saw you, but we remember you well. Be happy and may God’s love comfort you.

  59. Pauline Hart

    Vina,
    There are no words to express how deeply saddened I am to hear of Gerald’s passing. I have had the privilege of hearing many “Vina and Gerald” stories during our time working together. Yours was a true love story! Your name has been spoken many times here in the halls of the 5th Floor Bethune and even more so in the past couple of days since we heard your sad news. I am thinking of you and your family during this time and send you my sincere condolences on the loss of such a fine man. May you find peace in the days to come and cherish the memories of your life together.

    There is so much to say and remember about Mo and all the happiness and laughter he shared with me and many others. He took me under his wing at an early age and got me started on guitar. I was very slow to learn but he had the patience of Job. If it wasn’t for Mo I would never have had the life I have now as he was the man that helped me set my course for a life in music and the many different roads it took me down. Elaine and I offer our condolences to Vina and Family. He was a good man and I miss him so much.

    I was so very sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. I cannot believe it has been almost twenty years since Jerry and I worked together at Graham Creighton. The last time we saw you and Jerry was just after you moved outside Liverpool. You were both so welcoming to my husband Jim and daughter Sarah. Jerry seemed so happy with his new home. Jerry had once told me he was like John Wayne, a man of property.

Gerald so enjoyed his music and shared that love with others. It is very appropriate that you are honoring him with a musical celebration. He touched many lives as a teacher as well.
