William Moskalik

CANFIELD - Dr. William Moskalik, 90, died peacefully Monday, Jan. 17, 2022, at home, surrounded by his family.

William was born Sept. 20, 1931, in Detroit, Mich., the son of Fred and Rose Moskalik.

He was a graduate of The Rayen School and enlisted in the Army after graduation, serving in the Korean War.

William returned and attended John Carroll University, and graduated from Marquette University Medical School. After graduating, he opened his practice as an OB / GYN and felt privileged to serve the people who trusted him as a physician. He was soft-spoken, but left an impression on the people he helped and on his family.

In his spare time, William enjoyed skiing, windsurfing, and watching the Pittsburgh Steelers and Boston Celtics. He also loved sports, especially basketball, which he played while attending Marquette University. Above all, William loved spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were the lights of his life.

He was a longtime member of Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church and the church choir.

William is survived by his daughters, Mary Pat Moskalik of Greenford, Carol (Eli) Razo of Salem and Elizabeth Moskalik (Jim Allgren); sons, William F. Moskalik of San Francisco and Sean M. Moskalik (Dolores Tilbrook) of Greenford; sister, Mary Wakulinski of North Carolina; four grandchildren, Eric (Lindsay) Razo, Anna Razo, Maria Razo and Emily Razo; and one great-grandson, Noah Razo.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife, the former Margaret Elizabeth "Betsy" McClurkin, whom he married in August 1957 and who died in 2004; and two brothers.

Family and friends may call 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 23, 2022, at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Boardman-Canfield Chapel, where a Panakhyda service will be held at 3 p.m.
