Harry Leslie Moseley

Harry Leslie Moseley, beloved husband of Rosalind (Rose) Moseley, passed away suddenly May 22nd. A native Texan, Harry was born and raised in El Paso, Texas and graduated from Ysleta High School where he played baseball and football. He went on to graduate from the University of Texas at El Paso with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering. During this time he also played Semi-Pro Baseball in West Texas for the former Tigua Indians. He was the son of Harry Lee Moseley, of El Paso, and Florence Leslie Moseley, formerly from LaFayette, Indiana and the first woman microbiologist to ever graduate from Purdue University. He was the grandnephew of Harry Lee Leslie, former Governor of Indiana, who served two terms as governor. A military veteran, Harry served in the U.S. Army and spent most of that time in Anchorage, Alaska with one of his military duties being a ski instructor. Harry worked for a number of years in the Natural Gas Pipeline Industry and was instrumental in helping El Paso Natural Gas Company keep up with the latest technology innovations in that industry. He was honored to have been chosen as one of the twenty-six engineers throughout the United States to supervise the construction of the Lem Module for the Apollo Missile in Las Cruces, New Mexico-a three year project. Having completed this, he returned to El Paso to be Director of the Engineering Department for El Paso Natural Gas Company until the opportunity arose to head the Nuclear Standards Technical Writing Staff for Oak Ridge National Laboratory where he worked until his retirement. Harry was a member of both Texas and Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers, American Society of Civil Engineers, Texas and Tennessee Sections, and a member of Central Baptist Church Bearden. He was preceded in death by his parents and by his brother, Eddie Joe Moseley. Harry leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Rose; son, Harry L. Moseley, II (Lori); son, Eric Jackson Moseley (Dorothy) and grandsons, Jackson, Parker, Harrison, and Hayden.
