The son of Henry Harris and Virginia (Page) Moffett, he was born September 7, 1928 in Augusta County, the last member of his family to be born at the family homeplace, Locust Hill.
Mr. Moffett graduated with the first class of Wilson Memorial High School in 1948. He served in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. He graduated from Virginia Tech in 1955 and spent most of his working career at DuPont in Waynesboro.

Known for his quick wit and humor, Henry delighted in making people laugh, often telling jokes and stories while pointing out the humorous side of everyday life. A lifelong Hokie, few things brought him as much joy as a sunny fall football afternoon in Blacksburg.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Betty (Link) Moffett; his siblings, Page Kable, R.W. Moffett, Virginia Yowell, Mary Stuart Spracher, and Phyllis Miller.
