I think the first memory I have of you Moses is when I was at the beach Secrets with my brother Derek and all you boys Mo and bro's Caleb, Koa and Josh and Gene. You guys were hanging out in this little surf shack over looking the bay, you guys constructed of palm fronds and stuff and I was only 12 or 13 then and was so tickled to be hanging out with all the surfer guys and I remember you asked me if I would go and get something for you down below and I was a brat and wouldnt do it. I also remember going to your yurt house in Kapoho with my dad and seeing you there, you were so sweet and nice to me. Osa was just a puppy and you boys were getting ready to go to see Black Uhuru and I was wishing I could go and that I was older so I could hang out with you guys. Moses, when I think about you I always think aboout your unique ability to create a very joyous atmosphere whereever you are with you humour and good stories . One of my favorite things to do is watch you and your bro's hang out and watch as all your voices escalate, all your energies building and swirling with eachother. I know Josh would agree, when all you brothers are together, its the best feeling, so fun to be around. I love you Moses, I had a wonderful dream last night that we all were with you, all us friends, and you were doing SO good and we were all very happy, we were singing to you. Me and Josh will visit soon. You are so strong and courageous and an inspiration to us all. I think about you all the time and believe in you.......Love, Mary Diehl.

Dear Mo, I can remember having a conversation with you about your friend who had been in an accident and had not recovered the use of his limbs yet. You spoke of the pain that his family and friends were experiencing, but more importantly you told me of how much hope you had for him because of his attitude and support. I now have this hope for you. I know that you can pull through this! I have always looked up to you for your will power, steadfast friendships, and bravery. I admire you more and more for these attributes every day. Please know that I will always be one of your steadfast friends. I plan to see you in February if you’re up for a visitor? We had allot of fun last time we were all together at my mom’s house. Your sincere friendship and local style was incredible to be around. I look forward to a time when all of us can get together again, I can almost hear our laughter now… Mo, you have always been a good friend, know that I am praying for you and I won’t stop until you get better. Sincerely Kane
Hey Mo your Sis Alps here, hey babe some heavy stuff you are in here aye, its hard I know, but your going to make it into something good that I know too. You are a shinning light Bro and you are going to keep on shinning. I'v been thinking about the night you were born and what a monumental birth it was, it was a birthing party your mom there on the bed doing her labor thing while what seemed like 20 to 30 people were all around her, and when you came there was yelling, laughing, crying, singing and dancing,I remember Meg next to me crying, and David Pearson and Mustang Mike jumping up and down then hugging and rolling around on the ground together [these are two men you don't see hugging other men very often] I have never heard of or seen another birth like it, it was great. You were the perfect little blond haired, blue eyed Buddha baby. Being that I left home so young and we have 9 years between us most of my times with you were spent between your conception and around 7 or so and so thats where most of my memorys are. Here are a few, laying on a blanket with you on Taylor Camp beach rolling around, tickling, laughing, talking gerber talk, baby sitting when the folks went out, I remember doing a lot of wrestling and rough housing, I remember you running around with swords and guns and light sabors, bandanas over half your face and Ninja suits, I think of your birthdays with Pinatas, games, food and all the ole Taylor Campers and their kids. I always felt drawn to you, you always make me feel so special with your specialness, you have an Ing and a Ness that is going to pull yourself and all of us into a place none of us ever imagined, you are beautiful inside and out I LOVE YOU MOSES Cinnamon Time more than all the spices in the world XXOXOXOXOXOXOX always Alps.
I have countless memories of Moses because I have known him since the day I first took a breath and opened my eyes on this beautiful world. I have hundreds of stories of this amazing young man but the story I am about to share is not my own, it is from my fiance John Olsen. When I told him that Moses had gotten in an accident John assured me that he was going to be fine. He had this story to tell me about a trip we took this April. We went to Kauai so that John could meet Moses and the rest of our gigantic family. Moses met us at the beach and he and John went out snorkeling. They had been swimming around for a little while when a big set came in. Somehow Moses, our Hawaiian Surfer boy, got caught in a huge wave and tossed onto the reef. My John put his head under the water just in time to see Mo get tumbled and beaten across the rocks. John was sure we would have to take him to the emergency room and started to swim over to rescue him. When the wave had p! assed Moses lifted his head out of the water. Instead of swimming to shore, Moses smiled his playful, contagious smile. With a broken snorkel and one fin Moses was having the time of his life. John tells this story when I get worried and we both laugh. I know Moses will be fine, he is resilient and very brave. We all love you Mo and we are right behind you every step of the way. With Love, Melissa and John
AAAHHHHHH, the memories.... I have so many with you as the main character, I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Lets see, first crush, first kisses, first friends, lover, brother, family, swinging on vines, playing on the ramp, building forts in the jungle, cinder cones, 69's beach, Kalalou Valley, Blue - green eyes, warm hugs, laughing till dawn, wild parties, exploring life and who we were, quiet moments, and never skipping a beat whenever reunited. Your the man Mo, the memories I have with you in em' are undeniably my favorite! Lets make some more soon!!! oxoxoxoxox I got crazy love for you sweetie, always~ Genie
My memories of Moses span 26 years. One of my first memories is of a beautiful blonde, brown, and naked baby boy playing in the sand at Taylor Camp beach while his mother, Cherry, hung his diapers on the line -waves lapped at the reef, the wind whistled through the ironwood trees, and the fresh water stream babbled over the beach stones as it headed toward the blue pacific ocean. Moses laughed as Bach and Gary chased each other with swords made out of tree branches- tripping and rolling over the sunbathers on the beach. Cherry scolded them as they ran by- "slow down!" Then she rolled her eyes and smiled, picked Moses up, squeezing and hugging her bundle of a boy, and headed back to her house to make lunch. Just one of thousands of "mind movies" that play through my head as I go though my day thinking of Moses. I love you Mo- Julianne aka Jubilee

Moses is the greatest chef known to man! Whenever I'm visiting from the mainland I crave his seared ahi and last time - just three weeks ago - he cooked me some of his latest experimentations which consiststed of tempura-fried everything. No slouch in the kitchen - that's for sure.

To me, Moses is the thinker in the family. Yes, he's so a lover of life and he plays the hedonist role to a tee, but he's the thinker. He runs deep and his strength and compassion and honesty and candor make him one of the most likable people I've ever met. He's a lover and a giver. Who couldn't love that??

People are drawn to Moses. His adonis-like good looks don't hurt his incredible popularity with the ladies, but he's also got an almost wistful, largely untapped artistic and philosophical side to him that has always connected me to him.

Watching Moses and his brothers grow up in to the beautiful young men they are today - has been an eye-opening experience. In their brightness and candor, I learn from them. They are an amazing group of brothers who are loved more than they know . . .

Anyway, Moses is just really cool, what can I say?


In memory, I watch Moses astride his board, daring the last great curl of the wave before the sun melts into the sea at his back. In the near-dark, he joins our shore huddle, joking and teasing. He's big teaser. He loves fun and humor...and life. He is lithe, he is happy, and so beautifully alive. In my prayers, Moses breathes again on his own, move his hands, feels his limbs. In my prayers, he returns loving hugs, is glad again for his life. The only way to bear this is together, in the embrace of this huge-hearted clan. This family will carry their caring forever. Joanie Wells, Brad's mom, Moses' granny
It's been about twenty years since I've seen Moses but I can still remember his deep laughter and beaming smile. He was always so full of energy and life and his sweet heart always shone through!
