Dayle Moyer

April 3, 1943 ~ November 14, 2020

I'll be brief, I've left this happy trail called life. Along the way I met many great people. Many of them were at the phone company where I was fixing phones for little old ladies that gave me coffee and cake, and many more that were down some of the back roads that I had to move some road closed signs to get to. So, I'm off on my next big trip. Just remember, not all who wander are lost, and I'll see you soon. Dayle Richard Moyer, 77, of Cedar Rapids, died on Saturday, November 14, 2020, surrounded by his family. Survivors include his wife, Betty; children, Marc Moyer, Michael Moyer, and Michelle (Marc) Eby; and granddaughter, Amanda Moyer. Dayle was born April 3, 1943, in Cedar Rapids, the son of Dayle K. and Annie L. (Burks) Moyer. After high school, he served in the US Marines and was a non-combat veteran. Upon arriving home, he worked for 38 years at Northwestern Bell Telephone Company. Dayle will be remembered for his orneriness, but he always had a twinkle in his eye. His favorite saying was, 'live your life and forget your age'. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, and 'brother', Noel Motter. There will be no services at this time. Arrangements are with Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services, Cedar Rapids. Please share your support and memories with Dayle's family on his tribute wall at www.stewartbaxter.com under obituaries. Cards may be mailed to the family's homes addresses.

  2. Oh where to start! One of my favorite troublemakers! I served Dayle and his wife Betty many years Sunday nights at Leonardo’s and always looked forward to seeing them and ganging up on him! I even had to bill him for his sarcasm one night! He is a special man and will be so missed. Betty, family, and friends I am so saddened by your loss as he has a special place in my heart. May that sparkle in his eye and that laugh of his get you through these times. Sending lots of love and hugs from his favorite server ever!

  3. I’ve known Dayle and Betty for a long time he always made you laugh. They made the perfect couple my prayers to you Betty and family

  4. Betty, Marc, Michael, and Michelle, I am so sorry to hear about Dayle. He was a great guy, always a good friend and a hoot to work with. His orneriness was that but so was the twinkle….he was harmless and friendly and great fun to work with. I cant say how many countless cups of coffee/breakfast we shared over the years and always a great time. I cannot even imagine what he and Noel are doing even right now. Said in Dayles own words….not all who wander are lost!!….so true. We will see him again someday.

  5. We are very sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Maybe you kids will remember Ken Vawter who worked with your dad at North western Bell. Ken and your dad rode together for years when you lived by Atkins- riding in an old Dodge power wagon your dad had! In Sympathy. Ken and Linda Vawter
