Moise "Moonie" J. Deguffroy, 87, of Penn Township, died March 26, 2020. He was born November 18, 1932, at the family farm near present day Sunbirch Estates, to the late Augustine and Viola (Beaver) Deguffroy.  He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Norma (Petrella) Deguffroy, brother, Robert Deguffroy, and sisters, Hilda Surrec Tatarek and Grace Petrill. He is survived by his son, Ronald M. Deguffroy and wife, Megan (Cox), of Chambersburg, and daughter, Deborah J.

After graduation, Moonie continued to assist his father with the family farm. He then started his own business, Deguffroy Excavating, which later became Deguffroy and Associates. He retired at age 55, at which point he and Norma enjoyed many long vacations. He was also an original owner of Four Seasons Sporting Goods. After his wife’s parents’ passing, you could see him behind the bar at Joe’s Tavern, of which he was co-owner. Moonie had a great love for hunting. He hunted for turkey, white-tail deer, and bear in PA. Moonie also made many trips west with his many friends and his nephew, Augie to hunt elk, mule deer, and turkey. He was a proud title-holder of the Seven Hundred Club at North Central Ohio Varmint Express killing a groundhog at more than half a mile. Moonie was a member of the Trafford Sportsmen’s Club and also of the Lions Club in Claridge. He coached many years with the Penn Trafford Midget Football Athletic Association. He loved watching high school and Steeler football. During his last few years the kindness and care given to him by so many neighbors, friends, and relatives was of great comfort, and the family extends much appreciation for the compassion and care provided.  Due to current health concerns, viewing, services, and interment will be private.
