Jack E. Moyer, 79, of Cazenovia, passed away peacefully at home on July 24, 2022.

 Jack had a rich life dedicated to his family, friends, career and many hobbies. Jack proudly served in the VP-44 Pelicans Patrol Squadron of the U.S. Navy. After his service, he worked as an autobody repairman for Vertucci Chevrolet of Canastota and then as a county worker for Onondaga County for over 25 years. Jack’s hard-working spirit encouraged him to run a small engine repair shop out of his garage at his home in Georgetown after his retirement.

Those who knew Jack may remember him as a genealogy buff, a lover of history, a reader who frequented the Cazenovia library, or as a simple family man. He was a kind, patient, gentle and honest man. He loved children and was always seeking ways to help and give to others. He enjoyed playing cards with friends, taking friends and family out on his pontoon boat, and falling asleep in his recliner while watching reruns of “Gunsmoke” every evening.

Jack cherished his time frequenting the golf course with his daughter, fishing with his oldest son, hunting with his middle son and going to Rome and Fulton dirt track races with his youngest. Throughout his entire life, Jack cherished riding the countryside with his wife, reminiscing about days gone by and the countless memories they’d built.

 Jack was predeceased by his son Shane E. Moyer and is survived by his wife of 59 years, Mary Ayer Moyer, his daughter Jennifer (Timothy) Rosenberg, his sons Steven A. (Kelly) Moyer and Jack E. (Marisa) Moyer, Jr., as well as his loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

At Jack’s request, only his closest family will participate in a private graveside military service to celebrate his memory. Donations may be made in his honor to Cazenovia Public Library.
