Harry Joseph Mosher went to the great vintage car club in the sky on May 4, 2012, from his home in Hyrum, Utah, after an extended illness. He was born April 24, 1936, to Harry L. Mosher and Josephine Venti in Los Angeles, Calif. He married Sonja Fulton on Sept. 9, 2008.
Harry was a member of the first graduating class of Ben Lomond High School and later attended Weber State College and Utah State University. He received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army in 1963 and went on to work for Union Pacific Railroad for 43 years.
Len Allen, an Ogden radio personality, wrote the following editorial about Harry:
"Harry enjoyed a wealth of friends. He has the innate ability to remember special occasions and birthdays with one of his clever greeting cards and he always had a trinket or $2 bill in his pocket to pass out to friends. But his love of vintage cars will be his legacy. He was known for driving around town in his 1947 red Cadillac convertible. Over the years that convertible seldom missed a parade. He provided carriage for dignitaries, parade queens, and even Santa.
"It was Harry's idea that Ogden should have an antique car show in conjunction with Ogden's Pioneer Day Celebration. The car show is traditionally held the weekend prior to the July 24th festivities. The first show was held in 1970 and continues to this day."
Harry founded the Golden Spike Empire Vintage Car Club and belonged to the Beehive A's Car Club. He also initiated the origination of vanity license plates in Utah and was a co-coiner of the official designation of "Golden Spike Empire."
Harry's previous wives include Patricia Leavitt, Mary Greene and Gwen Mosher. He is survived by his wife Sonja; sister, JoAnn Thorson; sons, Tony (Shelley) and Chad (Dori); daughter, Tara (Kevin) Taylor; stepchildren, Stephanie (Dan) Miller, Mellany (Kerry) Barfuss, Robert (Neisha) Fulton, John (Bebe) Fulton, Cindy Fulton, Amy (Robert) Smith and Valerie Graham; 38 grandchildren; and 18 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents; stepson, Jeffery White; and grandson, Drake Lewis Anthony Taylor.
Services will be held Monday, May 14, at Larkin & Sons Mortuary, 496 24th St., Ogden, Utah. Family and friends may visit beginning at 9 a.m.; funeral service at 11 a.m. A vintage car processional and graveside dedication will follow with interment at Ogden City Cemetery. All vintage car club aficionados are invited to bring their vehicles in tribute.
