WALTER E. MOYER, JR.
July 13, 2025

On July 13th, 2025, after enduring and surviving over three years of treatment and with his bucket list nearing completion, Walter Moyer died at home from lung cancer. He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Stacey Corby Moyer.

Born in Scranton, Walter was the son of the late Walter Sr. and Sara Moyer. He was a graduate of Riverside High School and attended Penn State University. Prior to his illness, he was a design engineer for Tinsley Design and Fabricating.

Devoted husband, home remodeler, and road tripper to Stacey. Dedicated father, nature lover, music and history buff to Judy. Walter loved his little family and did everything in his power to stay here with them. He had too many interests to list, chief among them science, mechanics, fly fishing, museums, Star Trek, Scottish ancestry, British comedies, Japanese kaiju movies, and German beer. But number one above all was music. A walking encyclopedia of Beatles information, Walter loved guitars and was a professional bassist. If you showed him "C" on any other instrument, he would have it figured out and be playing a tune in minutes.
Although he had a broad sense of humor, Walter did not suffer fools gladly. His intelligence and integrity, so needed today, will be sorely missed.

Walter is also survived by his daughter, Judith Moyer, at home; father and mother-in-law, James and Irene Corby; nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his sisters, Judith Carlin and Catherine Moyer.


The family would like to extend their deepest appreciation to Doctors Amber and John Sobuto, as well as Dr. Glen Digwood and every healthcare worker that helped to sustain and improve his life. Profound thanks to the hospice nurses and aides who worked to ensure a compassionate passing.

Family and friends will be received Sunday, August 3rd from 3 to 5 p.m. with a memorial service to follow, at the Nicholas Chomko Funeral Home, 1132 Prospect Ave. South Scranton.
