Age 93, of Monticello, died on Wednesday, February 2, 2022 at the Monroe Clinic Hospital. Bill was born on October 7, 1928, at home, in Exeter Township, Green County, Wisconsin, the son of Frederick W. and Lydia (Freitag) Moser. He attended Wallace Rural School and graduated from Monticello High School in 1946. He was united in marriage to Carol R. Kundert on April 24, 1954 at the Union Presbyterian Church in Monroe. Bill farmed on the Moser home farm, a century farm, in Exeter Township for many years. He worked at Laidlaw Corporation in Monticello for 22 years before retiring in 1995. Bill enjoyed driving as he drove the school bus for the Monticello School District and most recently for Monticello Ford and Voegeli Chevrolet for dealer trades. He was a long time member of Zwingli United Church of Christ serving on the church consistory for several years, Sugar River Watershed, and was active in the Monticello Area Historical Society. He was the recipient of the Green County Quality of Life Award in 2002. He enjoyed traveling with Carol to all 50 states, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Canada.
