WATERTOWN, N.Y.  —  Rev. David Moltz (Deacon Moltz), 64, happily passed into God's Loving arms June 19, 2011 at Loretto in Syracuse, N.Y.

He was born June 24, 1946 the son of the late Albert J. and Loneita Isabelle (Boyce) Moltz. He graduated From Boonville Central School in 1964 and from Paul Smiths College in 1966.

Rev. Moltz became disabled in July of 1994 with kidney failure and received a transplanted kidney from 'Gregory', my donor with unconditional love of his parents, Kathy and Ted. I am not sure of the families last name but I believe it is "HEROES!"

Rev. Moltz' hobbies included hunting, fishing, snowshoeing, camping, target shooting-earning every medal of the N.R.A and the name 'Dead Eye Dave.' He also enjoyed classical and spiritual music, woodworking with a scroll saw, and was a close relative to Santa Claus, bringing St. Nick to Watertown, Fort Drum, NYS Fairgrounds and surrounding areas for several years. Numerous hospitals, schools, organizations, businesses and untold number of home visits made not only the children and adults in the thousands believe, but brought the bearded ole man to happy tears of joy. 'S.C.' thanks you.
