"His patients absolutely trusted him." - Jan Cerel, a longtime family friend and patient, remembers how Dr. Moosnick would make house calls accompanied by hi s two dachshunds. The dogs would stay in the car while the doctor tended to his patients. - "He was the type of diagnostician who could listen to you and look at you and know what was wrong," Cerel said. - Survivors include his wife, Marilyn, four children and five grandchildren. - Services will be at noon Thursday at Ohavay Zion Synagogue.
