Peter Moen age 72 of Pequannock, died Tuesday, December 2, 2008 at home, surrounded by his family. Peter had been battling brain cancer for the past year.
He was born in Elizabeth and lived in Union and Nutley before moving to Pequannock forty-six years ago.
Mr. Moen was a graduate of Nutley High School, Nutley with the class of 1954.
He was a Staff Sergeant in the NJ Army National Guard from September, 1955 till September, 1964. He graduated Rutgers University with a BA in History in 1964.
He was employed with New Jersey Bell starting in October of 1954 and became an employee of AT&T in 1984 when the Bell Company was split. He rose to the position of District Manager in Project Management before retiring from AT&T in 1987. For several years after his retirement, Peter worked at the Pompton Reformed Church of Pompton Lakes where he was the church and cemetery manager.
Peter has been a member of Pompton Plains Reformed Bible Church since 1966. Prior to that, he attended the People’s Park Netherlands Reformed Church. Peter’s life has always been in the church. During his time at PPRBC he has held the office of Deacon once and the office of Elder many times. In addition, he was a youth leader, a Cadet leader, and was part of many committees, with the most recent committee being the relocation committee. He knew everybody’s name and was often the first person to meet and greet a new face to the church. Peter’s involvement with the church did not simply stay within the walls of the church. He was a board member of Mid-America Reformed Seminary in Dyer, IN. In the 1990’s, Peter was a chairman of the Alliance of Reformed Churches and was instrumental in bringing to birth the United Reformed Church of North America. Peter regularly served as an Elder delegate to the church’s Synod meetings.
Peter's faith can be summed up as follows. The Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 1. What is your only comfort in life and in death? That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul, in life and in death— to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven: in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.
Peter was known as an outgoing, friendly, thoughtful, and organized individual. He planned everything and kept notes on everything. He was known for his routine. His favorite vacation spot was the Jersey shore at South Seaside Park where, once he retired, would spend the months of June and September enjoying the peace and solitude of the shore. His love for the shore was passed on to his children and their children. Peter also loved to vacation in the Adirondacks, at a Christian Conference Center known as Camp-of-the-Woods. His vacation routine would be Camp-of-the-Woods and the Jersey shore one year, and a traveling vacation and the Jersey shore the next year. The traveling years Peter took his family to travel through the New England States, Florida, and one year out west where we flew out (back when families rarely flew) and drove back in a motor home. Peter loved to create memories with his family.
He had a loving, caring and wonderful marriage of fifty years to Ann (Stols) Moen who he married on August 30, 1958; he was the loving father of four sons Peter Jay Moen and his wife Donna of Pompton Plains, Neal Edward Moen and his wife Daneen of Pequannock, Mark Alan Moen of Niantic, CT and Steven Scott Moen and his wife Suzanne of Oak Ridge; cherished grandfather of Jonathan David Moen, Scott Nicholas Moen, Elizabeth Ann Moen, Heather Renae Moen, Stephanie Nicole Moen, Alexandria Erin Moen, Samuel Scott Moen, Connor Rhys Moen, Stacy Morgan Moen, Sawyer Nicholas Moen, Sierra Noel Moen, Mykaela Lynn Moen, with one more on the way; devoted brother of Edward Marinus Moen and his wife Susan of Hawley, PA and Barbara Moen Hayford and her husband Mark of Saylorsburg, PA.
