Mr. Erie Moss

There are some who set out to live for excitement, filling their days with hobbies, travel, and unexpected adventure. While others prefer to live simply. Those who value family, hard work, and living each day as it comes, with grace and gratitude. Erie Byrd Moss was one who preferred to live simply. With his kind heart and quiet demeanor, his life was filled with abundance, giving his attention to the little things.

Erie (Curly) Byrd Moss was born on December 17, 1940 in Butler Alabama to Lorenzo and Theola Moss. He had 14 brothers and sisters by marriage. He departed this life on December 12, 2024.

Growing up Erie was gifted the nickname Curly due to his dark curly hair. Erie was a product of Choctaw County Training School in Lisman, Alabama. Erie relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio with his family in the late 1960’s. After arriving to Cincinnati he began working for Cincinnati Milling Machine Company in maintenance, later acquired and renamed Cincinnati Milacron. He retired in the early 2000’s after Cincinnati Milacron was acquired by Siemens.

Erie was preceded in death by his parents Lorenzo and Theola brothers, Doug Moss, and Charles Moss; and sisters, Lorene Moss, Claudine Higgins, and Barbara Ann Ruffin (Terrence).

Erie leaves behind to cherish his memory: spouse, Rita Pry; son, Erie Bryant Moss; daughter, Angela Moss; step-son, Michael Pry; Sisters Mildred Moss, Linda Moss Moody, and Tina Moss; brothers Clyde Moss (Etta Rae), James Moss (Kate), Ricky Moss, Bobby Moss, Lorenzo Moss Jr. and a host of grand children, great-grand children, family and friends.
