Our father, William C Moser (known to many as "Casey"), passed away unexpectedly in February 2026 at his home in Pontiac, Michigan. He leaves behind four children: myself, Collin Moser, my brother Connor Moser, my half-brother Blake Moser, and my half-sister Alexis Moser. With heavy hearts, we share the grief of his loss. He loved us deeply in his own way and shared his passion for cars and all things mechanical with us. He taught us much and gave us memories we’ll always hold close. We’re grateful for every moment we had with him, and we are reminded to hold your loved ones close, tell them you love them often, and cherish the time you have together, as tomorrow is never guaranteed. We love you, Pops.

While Blake and Alexis live near our father's home in Pontiac, Connor and I are in Northeast Wisconsin, about 10 hours away. As the oldest, I have been designated the contact person for gathering information and taking care of all the necessary arrangements during this difficult time. Each of us will likely incur some degree of lost wages in order to accomplish what must be done. In addition, all of us will also face significant expenses to travel to Pontiac and to stay there while arranging end-of-life concerns. There will also be expenses for an appropriate memorial and celebration of Dad’s life at a later time. Most, if not all, of these expenses will be borne by the oldest of the children, and it will be nearly impossible for us to do so alone. This fund would help defray those expenses.

In moments like this, each of us naturally feels a mix of emotions—grief, loss, confusion, anger, regret for moments which could have been better lived, and ultimately the hope that your loved one has found peace and is in a better place. And then, the unfortunate reality of life stares you in the face. How do you do all those things you feel obliged to do out of respect for the one who is no longer there? Those things have not only an emotional cost, but also a tangible cost that can be overwhelming. Any help is gratefully accepted.
