On August 1, 2014, Edward L. Mosier of Sunnyslope peacefully passed away at the family home in his own bed. He was born December 17, 1921 in Rockport, Washington and was 92 years old.

Edward married his high school sweetheart Myrtle Irene in Aberdeen, WA where he attended and graduated from high school. He had been married over 60 years before she preceded him in death.

He joined the Army Air Corps at the outbreak of World War II. He was in the D-Day landing on Omaha Beach.

He was a founding father in the Belfair Assembly of God Church as well as Treasurer, Teacher, and Royal Ranger Leader.

He moved his family to Sunnyslope in 1960 and went to work at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. He retired from Shop 11 as Foreman and settled down to a peaceful life at the family home.

He is survived by his son David L. Mosier of Sunnyslope who was at his side when he passed; a daughter Kristeen L Hamar, now of Bremerton, four grandchildren Paul Hamar of Seattle, Angela Dupleis of Bremerton, David L.

He was a proud and loyal person. Those who knew him and loved him will truly miss him. He touched many lives in his 92 years of life.
