LLOYD A MOE Obituary (1929

Remember December 9th, 2015 as a historic day in Libby as one of its most beloved fishermen, loggers, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Lloyd A. Moe, 86, left us for better fishing and taller trees. He was born in Sandpoint, Idaho on June 16, 1929 to Harry and Viola Moe. At the age of one, his family moved to Libby. Lloyd spent his childhood in South Libby and later in the Pleasant Valley and Fisher River area. Lloyd met the love of his life, Peggy Wilson, in 1948 while she was casting a worm into the Fisher River. They were married on July 24, 1949. They raised four children. Lloyd's occupation was a gypo logger and the original builder and owner of the Whistle Stop Bar, (Kickin Horse). Later in life, Lloyd and Peggy managed the Treasure Manor for ten years. He also got to see a lot of Montana while piloting with friend, Gary Wood, for Pumco Construction. A better man could not be found...full of generosity, compassion, and care for the down and out whether it be human or animal. Lloyd found special comfort and happiness with backyard fish frys and time spent with family and friends. Lloyd is preceded in death by his father, mother, and stepfather, Clarence Karnes. He is survived by his wife Peggy of 66 years, children Jon (Donna) of Libby, Debbie (Mark) Decker of Libby, Kelly Moe (Allan Gerhart) of Kalispell, and Lloyd Moe of Post Falls; and brother Harry (Irene) Moe; grandchildren Holly, Bill, Jessica, Kristy, Lisa, Kallie, Marko, Ariel and numerous great grandchildren.
