[Dialogue] [Oe List ...] Donald Moffett

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Another gentle giant--Don was tough as saddle leather wound around pure care. I 
remember a story Mary Warren told me in a late afternoon conversation one day. 
Their beloved cat had come to a time, either through age or illness or both, 
that it needed to be euthanized. So, that morning as Mary Warren was on her way 
to the Institute, she and Don stopped by the vet's. After the cat's death, they 
left the office and got into their car where they simply sat and talked--and Don 
cried. And he said through his tears, "I didn't even cry when my mother died." I 
was so touched by that story and have returned to it in my mind many times over 
the years since then.

Don, the father, who cared for his sons through first-class educations and their 
divergent vocational choices.

Don, the husband, who sent Mary Warren off on trips around the world to perform 
her own magic with Order members, local Guardians, women in villages and 
sophisticated urban settings. And he took care of the home-front while she 
worked down at Kemper--he left grocery lists for her, so that they had the food 
needed for the dinner he had planned.

Don, the Guardian who traveled to consults around the world, the businessman who 
never failed to ask tough questions about Institute finances (and whatever else 
that struck him as being "off-target") but supported us through it all. How much 
we will miss him.

Mary Warren, we are thinking now of you, as we keep you, D.W., and Jim in our 
prayers.

Grace and Peace,
Doris and Charles Hahn

Yesterday afternoon, June 11, 2011, Donald R Moffett completed his life journey. 
Don was a long-standing Gaurdian and Board Member of the Ecumenical Institute 
and ICA. I will ensure that information about service arrangements is shared as 
soon as they are available.
