Andrew Moss

July 24, 1948 - September 6, 2020

It's with great sorrow that we inform you of the passing of our beloved father and husband, Andrew Moss, at the age of 72. His passing has left a big void in our lives and he will be sorely missed. We are very grateful for all the kind messages we have already started receiving, they mean a lot to us. Seeing as many of those who knew him are now spread out across the world, we wanted to find a way to capture any memories, stories, thoughts or words that anyone wanted to share. He was a wise, kind, thoughtful, witty, eccentric, mischievous and sensitive soul. Being a teacher was without any doubt his life's purpose which brought him immense pride and joy. He was also a wonderful father, brother, uncle, husband and friend in too many ways to mention. We are grateful to have been a part of his journey and are very proud of what he achieved, and everything he did to encourage and inspire the generations of children that he taught. To quote him in his own words... "What a weird and wonderful life it has been"...

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. He taught me in 4th and 5th primary and I have such strong memories of this time - the happiest years of my schooling. A truly fabulous teacher, one of kind who really engaged with children. I remember him reading us "Matilda", his wonderful music lessons (i still have the paper copies), playing Mossball and rounders in the afternoon when the classroom got a bit stuffy and we needed a break. I remember trudging through snow in Bardonecchia singing his own rendition of "We're going on a bear hunt". And then opening up his home for the ceremonial end of year barbecue and burning of euromaths on the bonfire. Sending so much love to his family. Sleep well, Mossy xxxxx

    Thanks so much Laura - you have no idea how lovely it is to read these stories - he would have been made up. I was at my dad's for one of those BBQs one year, I wonder if it was yours? I think he loved them more than the kids did! :D Clare x
