A man of many talents, Steve had several business ventures including: a restaurant in Charleston, an ice cream parlor in Hanahan, independent cosmetic sales in Columbia, and a trophy shop in Charleston.

He was a member of the Charleston Elks Lodge, the College of Charleston Cougar Club, the Palmetto Touchdown Club, and the Greek Orthodox Church of Holy Trinity.

Dear Helen, Dino, and Stephanie,
I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. I would have come to the funeral, but I didn't even know that he had passed away until after the service.
Anyway, I just wanted you to know how sorry I am and that I would have come if I'd only known....
my sympathies to everyone in the family!

Dear Moskos and Moskos-Hall family:

Words cannot express my feelings at the falling asleep in Christ of Steve Moskos. I had the privilege of knowing Steve for several years and most recently saw him at Sam's Club a month or so ago. He was a fine man, a faithful Christian, and devoted father and grandfather to his family. He was in all things a gentleman and a worthy role model for us all.

While we all grieve at losing him in this life, through the mercy of God we will celebrate with him again on the Day of Resurrection!

May his memory be eternal!

Sad news, reading of Steves death. I have not seen him since I retired, but he called on various clinics that I practiced at over the last 15 years or so, he also helped me so much with the state P.A. programs in providing professional lectures and funding from Phizer. I always enjoyed seeing him and we had many good vists, I will miss him and will remember him in my prayers, and to his family, may the Lord help you through these difficult times.

Stephanie, I am so sorry to learn of the death of your dad. I am in Germany for four months but got an e-mail and also read it in Charleston.net. I saw Steve a short time before I left at Town and Country and went over and sat down and had a short talk with him. Seeing him was how I kept up with news of you. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Sondra Pfaehler(Alana's mother)
