Dan Moziar, a two-term city councillor and former chair of Guelph Hydro, died at home this past Saturday following a long journey with Alzheimer’s disease, his family announced.
“Dan loved his farm in Eramosa Township, and he was never happier than working in the fields on his tractor, raising chickens, turkeys, or cattle,” explains an obituary. “He underwent hip surgery in 1985 and that brought an end to his farming days. He traded in the farm for a cottage on William’s Lake in exchange for a more leisurely lifestyle and spent many happy hours there.”
Moziar spent more than 40 years working in the information and technology sector, including as chair of Guelph Hydro and chair of the former Municipal Electric Association.
He was elected to represent Ward 2 on Guelph city council in 2000 and again in 2003. He also founded the Guelph Branch of the Queen’s Alumni Association, the university from which he graduated.
A celebration of life is planned for this coming Saturday at Gilbert MacIntyre and Son Funeral Home Hart Chapel on Gordon Street from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m..
The family is asking that anyone who wishes to make donations to the Guelph Alumni Entrance Award at Queen’s University or Alzheimer Society of Waterloo Wellington.
