A memorial service with military honors for Lt. Cmdr. Harry Seeber Mossman was held at Tahoma National Cemetery.
Then Lieutenant Mossman was a member of Attack Squadron 52 (VA-52) from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. His A-6A Intruder, Buno 157018, launched from the USS Kitty Hawk, with pilot Lt. Roderick B. "Rog" Lester, was lost over Vietnam August 20, 1972. Through the efforts of the Navy and many people in the United States and Vietnam, remains were recovered in the fall of 2003 and a positive identification was made through DNA testing in the spring of 2004.
Lt. Cmdr. Mossman was born to Julian and Eleanor Seeber Mossman. He was a standout student and athlete at Manhassett High School in New York. He attended Bates College where he met his wife, Rocky Karen Wild. He played football and ran track at Bates and was an English major, graduating in 1965.
His family includes widow, Rocky Harvey of Bellevue; sons, Tom Moore of Capitola, California and Bill Moore of Yakima and grandsons, Hunter and Harrison Moore of Yakima.
Lt. Cmdr. Mossman enjoyed his family, sports, chess, reading, and writing. He left a letter to his children. In it, he tried to sum up his fatherly advice he wanted to give his sons when they grew older. He wrote about his beliefs and values and emotions that are common to everyone, and he wrote that it was the best he could do at the moment.
"Many people have learned things from the dead individual, whether by example of his deeds or the conscious attempts he made to teach his family and friends to accept life, or chance words that struck home. In some small way, living people share parts of his soul, conscious or otherwise".
