Class of 1970

Stanley S. Makuch, 73, of Exeter Township, passed away on Friday, May 1, 2026, in the care of Reading Hospital. He was the loving husband of Brenda M. (Bickta) Makuch, who passed away on June 24, 2018.
Born to the late Sava and Beryl (Steffy) Makuch, Stanley was the eldest of their four children. He graduated from Exeter High School in 1970.
He was a very hardworking man his entire life. An experienced trucker, Stanley established his own company, Sun Valley Transport, which he operated for over 40 years until his passing.
Stanley was independent and self-made. He was very generous and kind, and he was a loyal friend. He loved animals, especially his dogs. Stanley also enjoyed a good meal, eating large all his life. He was a great father to his daughters and always supported their endeavors and interests, even lacing up ice skates, clipping on skis, and saddling up to go horseback riding alongside his daughters. After the loss of his beloved wife, he especially treasured time spent with his daughters and his grandchildren.
His own breed, he was one of a kind and will be deeply missed by friends and family.
Left to treasure Stanley's memory are his daughters, Lauren Makuch, wife of Rodrigo Ortiz-Meoz, of Collegeville, and Morgan Maiorana, wife of Jonathan Maiorana, of Muncy; his honorary son, Dustin Kiene, owner of Dumpster Dudez LLC; grandchildren, Diego and Benjamin Ortiz and Goldie Maiorana; and sisters, Mary Tice, widow of Steve Tice, and Donna Russ. In addition to his wife, Brenda, and parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Deborah Paige.
Contributions in Stanley's memory may be offered to a charity of choice.

Class of 1974
Dean Randall Moser, of Belton, MO, entered the world on March 27th,1956 in Reading, PA as a remarkable 11-pound baby, and from that point on, never stopped making an impression on the world around him. He left us unexpectedly in the early hours of April 25th, 2026, and while his absence leaves an irreparable hole in our hearts, his legacy lives on.
Dean loved to explore, and he was always up for an “excursion!” He could be found on any given Saturday gardening, napping, watching his grandkids play sports, or taking care of his pool. His lawn chair was well-loved, and he would never turn down a Reese’s peanut butter cup. He always said he never met a dessert table he didn’t like. He made many lasting connections working at Cracker Barrel and volunteering with his church.
We will miss the man who kept us updated about all the malls, highways, architecture styles, weather events, and newest Buc-ee’s locations. We will miss the friend who was always willing to host a pool party or volunteer to keep the neighborhood fed at a Harvester’s food drop or by filling our food pantry. We will miss the grandfather who was always present for school concerts, grandfriends day, school pick-up, trips to the store for Pokemon cards and beyblades, lunches out, rides to practice, and walks up and down the block beside a grandkid on a scooter or bike. His answer to any question concerning being there for his grandkids was always, “I can do that.” We will miss the dad who was always proud of his girls and would brag about them and his sons-in-law any chance he got. And we will miss the husband who always made his wife feel loved, beautiful, and like she was the center of his world; she will especially remember and miss his patience and kindness through every season of sickness and health.
He leaves behind his loving bride of nearly 47 years, Joy Moser, two daughters, Amy Wolff (Mark) and Kelly Wilson (Jay), and three beloved grandchildren, Quinn, Everleigh, and Philippa Wilson. He is also survived by his five siblings Deborah Pauley, Dan Moser (Heidi), Delores Reese (Dave), David Moser (Laura), and Doug Moser (Carol). He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Daniel and Donna Moser; and brother-in-law Dave Pauley.
A celebration of his life will take place on Sunday, May 3rd at 11am at the Belton New Horizons Church of the Nazarene (17200 Chestnut Dr. Belton, MO 64012) with Dean’s favorite meal to follow. Visitation will be between 10:15am and 10:45am. Dean was passionate about the local church – In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Dean’s memory to the ministries of the Belton New Horizons Church of the Nazarene.
