Tony Mosley, 91, of Summersville, West Virginia, formerly of Vineland,

New Jersey, passed away peacefully on January 31, 2026. Born on

January 9, 1935, in Cheswold, Delaware he was the son of the late

Joseph Mosley and Martie (Muntz) Mosley. A proud member of the

Nanticoke Tribe, Tony lived his life with deep pride in his Native

American heritage, a trait that shaped his character and the values he

instilled in those around him.

Tony was the definition of a hardworking man. He dedicated his career to

truck driving, spending countless hours behind the wheel of his beloved

"Long Nose Peterbilt." Over the years, he earned not one, but two

million-mile safe driving awards, a testament to his exceptional skill,

focus, and professionalism on the open road. Fellow drivers and friends

alike admired his work ethic, dependability, and genuine love for the

profession that became his life's journey.

To those who knew him, Tony was more than a truck driver—he was a

man of his word, a loyal friend, and a loving father and brother. His

strong work ethic and magnetic personality made him a pillar of strength

in his community and within his family. People naturally gravitated toward

his charisma, and he offered warmth, humor, and wisdom in equal

measure.

Some of Tony's fondest memories came from simpler times camping trips

with his wife, children, and close friends. Those trips represented what

mattered most to him: family, laughter, and the bonds of togetherness.

Whether it was leveling the camper, swapping stories, enjoying his buddy

Babe Cantoni's cooking or sitting back and drinking a cold one or some

ginger brandy, Tony cherished every moment he spent with those he

loved.

Faith became an important compass in Tony's later life. He was a

devoted member of Heavens Saint Worship Center, where his dear

friend, Pastor Herbie Pierce Jr. and Herbie Pierce Sr., guided his

spiritual journey. There, Tony found peace and salvation and was

baptized, an experience that deepened his sense of purpose and

gratitude.

Tony is preceded in death by his parents; his sisters Dorothy Morgan,

Sophia Pierce, Ardella Schnoa, Margaret Sissy Ridgeway, and Betty

Pierce; and his brother, Joseph "Buck" Mosley. He is survived by his sister

Diane Durham; his wife of more than 57 years Yvonne (Luzader) Mosley,

his daughters Vyuka Joslin (Dave), Leslie McCoy (Dale), and Martie

Gillespie (Rodney); his sons Franklin Gene Mosley and Gregory Scott

Mosley. He was lovingly known at Pop (short for Poppop) to his

grandsons David Joslin, Danny Mosley, Mason Gillespie and Seth McCoy;

his granddaughters Christina Mosley , Laura Hensley, Amanda Woods,

Danielle Cifaloglio, Shayla Knight, Gracie and Maddie McCoy. He also

had thirteen great grandchildren. To his children and those who loved him

dearly, Tony leaves behind a legacy of steadfast love, integrity, and

perseverance.

A graveside service will be held in New Jersey, and a celebration of life

is planned for this spring, where family and friends will gather to share

memories, stories, and to honor the remarkable life of  Tony Mosley.

The Truckers Final Journey

He's on his last journey now,

On roads that we can't follow,

And as we bid our last farewell,

We know that

he has gone to dwell.

In trucking heaven,

On perfect roads that never end,

His spirit free, his heart so strong,

A trucker's soul forever long.
