Clifford Andrew Moe caught the big ship home Monday June 11th, 2007 after a long battle with cancer. His family was by his side at his home. Clifford was born June 18th, 1922, in Fergus Falls Minnesota to George and Laura Moe. He was raised on the family farm in Valley City, North Dakota, graduating from Valley City High School in 1941. After High School he attended trade school in Valley City until America's entry into WWII, at which time he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Cliff served on the sub chaser USS SC 13-42, assigned to the 11th amphibious in the Caribbean before sailing to England prior to the invasion. On D-Day his ship was stationed just off the Omaha beach, and was tasked with coordinating the landing craft and providing supporting fire for the troops going into the beach. He was wounded when the lone Luftwaffe bombing run of the day targeted his ship in an attempt to disrupt the flow of men and equipment onto the beach. He continued to serve until the end of the war, when he was given his honorable discharge from the military. Following the war he returned to Valley City and leased acreage to farm, before deciding to move to Mount Vernon in 1947 to join his family who had already moved here. It was here that he met Ruth Locken, whom he married on March 31, 1950. Cliff worked many jobs throughout his life, farmer, logging truck driver, co-owner of C and J Plastering and state property appraiser. He retired due to his injuries from his time in the Navy. Among his many interests were hunting and fishing, carpentry, putting puzzles together, horse shoes (he never would let his grandkids beat him), cheering for the Mariners, betting on the horses (especially when he won) and traveling to Arizona to get out of the cold. But his greatest joy was his family. He is survived by Ruth, his loving wife of 57 years, son Robert Moe and his wife Rayna of Bayview, daughter Cheryl Remmenga and her husband Bill of Mount Vernon, son Dennis Moe and his wife Joni of Burlington, grandson Rob Moe of Bayview, granddaughter Michelle Belcourt and her husband Josh of Burlington, grandson Sean Seymour of Mount Vernon, grandson Jason Moe of Burlington, grandson Justin Moe and his wife Brandy of Burlington, grandson Mathew Moe and his girlfriend Ashleigh Wilson of Sedro Woolley, granddaughter Breanna Seymour of Mount Vernon, great grandson Dylan Moe son of Justin and Brandy, and great grandson Johathan Belcourt of Josh and Michelle. He is also survived by his brothers George (Judd), and Don and wife Jeri, and Sister Ethel and her husband Richard (Shorty). He is also survived by a large extended family including numerous In-Laws, Cousins, Nieces and Nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Brother Lloyd, and Sisters Ruth and Beverly. Clifford was also a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Sons of Norway, and Disabled American Veterans. Memorials may be made in the name of Clifford Moe to Hospice, American Cancer Society, and the Diabetes Foundation.
