David R. Moffett Often Enjoyed Visiting Island

David R. Moffet of Peoria, Ariz., and Monmouth, Ill., grandfather of Caroline V. Moffet, of Edgartown, died June 9 after a courageous battle with lymphoma.

A frequent visitor to Martha's Vineyard, Dave enjoyed touring the Island, playing golf at the Edgartown Golf Club, attending the Federated Church and time spent with his family.

Grampa Dave, himself a voracious reader, enjoyed the many hours he read to his granddaughter.

A newspaperman the first part of his life, his family owned a small daily in Illinois. He later became a retirement specialist in Arizona.

He leaves his wife Darlene in Monmouth, Ill.; three sons, including Caroline's father, John and mother Julie of Edgartown and numerous grandchildren including his precious Caroline Victoria.

To the end he carried a picture of Caroline and himself in his wallet. Memorials may be sent to the YMCA of Martha's Vineyard.
