Lee Raymond Moyer, 85, of Mertztown, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 20, 2017 in his residence surrounded by his family. He was the loving husband of Joyce S. (Funk) Moyer, whom he married on January 10, 1953.

Born in Mertztown, Lee was a son of the late Howard O. and Queen E. (Howk) Moyer. Following his graduation from Kutztown Area High School in 1949, Lee honorably and faithfully served his country in the United States Army during the Korean War.

Prior to his time at DEKA, Lee worked as a truck driver at the former Beck’s Feed and Grain, Inc., Kutztown, for many years. Lee was a member of Ray A. Master Post 217, American Legion, Topton, and was an avid car enthusiast, taking much pride in his powder blue, 1982 Oldsmobile. He often took his “pride and joy” to local car shows and cruise nights. A family man, Lee enjoyed spending time with his wife, sons and grandchildren.
