Ricky (Rick) F. Mosher passed away on March 26, 2023 in Virginia Beach, VA. Rick was born in Richland, NY to Quenton & Eileen (Jeffers) Mosher.
Rick retired as a Quartermaster Chief in the Navy after 20 years of service. After his military retirement, Rick owned his own landscaping business and later worked for E.V. Williams as a truck driver. That is where he met his wife, Valerie. Valerie and Rick would have celebrated their 10-year anniversary later this week. In addition, he was a loving father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was a quiet man but loved his family dearly.
For many years, Rick’s passion was riding motorcycles and he owned many in his lifetime. Even though he was not physically able to ride in his most recent years, he enjoyed telling stories about his adventures and friends he met along the way. He served as the former first officer of the Southern Cruiser’s Riding club #26 Tidewater Chapter.
In addition to being predeceased by his parents, Rick was predeceased by his brother Fred Mosher, sister Jeanne and husband, Ronnie Nutting, and son Ricky Mosher, Jr. He is survived by his wife Valerie, sons, Joshua and Israel, brothers, Jerry and wife Vicky, Timothy and wife Kathy, Terry and wife Lisa, sisters, Cheryl and husband Ernie, and sister Sue along with stepchildren, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

Graveside Service
We were lucky to get to meet and know both Rick and Val thru the Southern Cruisers Riding Club. Despite only having a chance to see them a few times of the year at group events, we will always cherish the times we spent together with him. He was a alot of fun to be around and always seem to have a smile for anyone he met.
We hope that memories of those good times will help provide comfort to Val and his family. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
