In Memoriam: Longtime Little Silver Resident, Ted Moss III, 72

“He left this world surrounded by the love of his family and friends after a lengthy battle with cancer.”

Longtime Little Silver resident, Theodore “Ted” Joseph Moss III, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Dec. 30. He was 72.

“Above all, Ted loved spending time with his family, from bowling with his father and brothers to time spent around the dinner table. He had an open door policy and all were welcome. He loved a crowd for Sunday dinners prepared by Connee, where everyone looked forward to homemade desserts. Ted was extremely proud of his children, their accomplishments and loved visits from Ivy. Ted also enjoyed spending time by the pool, usually with a good book, and watching his favorite NY sports teams, the Giants and the Yankees. His enduring love and commitment to family were evident in the strong foundation he built, providing a source of strength, inspiration and security.”
