William Carl “Bill” Moyer, 88, husband of Pearl N. (Derr) Moyer, passed away peacefully at his home in Gilbertsville on Monday, January 10, 2022.
Born in Pottstown, he was the son of the late William R. Moyer and Fietta (Simmons) Moyer. He graduated from Pottstown High School. After high school, Bill kept busy with his various occupations. He proudly served his country in the US Army. After, he would work as a carpenter for contractor Paul W. Moyer for over 38 years. In retirement, Bill worked at Kulp Car Rentals in Gilbertsville.
Bill enjoyed many aspects of life, but nothing more than being an outdoorsman. He loved hunting and fishing with his sons and grandsons at “Hemlock Haven”, the family cabin which he helped build in Bradford County over 50 years ago. Bill also shared his sportsman knowledge with his community. He was the former President of the Douglass Rod and Gun Club, a longtime instructor for the PA Hunter Safety Course, and a lifetime member of the NRA.
Surviving along with his wife Pearl of 63 years, are his children Scott A. Moyer, husband of Denise, Timothy C. Moyer, husband of the late Carol, Denise F. Moyer, Kelly A.
