PORTLAND – George “Moe” Rudolph Moberg, of Portland, passed away peacefully with his sons by his side on Friday Jan. 10, 2025 at the age of 90.
George was born the son of George and Doris (Burton) Moberg on Oct. 16, 1934. He was a graduate of South Portland High School.
Following his graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy where he served from 1954 to 1957. While on leave in Pearl Harbor Hawaii, he enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard.

They settled on the West End of Portland where they bought their home and started a family.
George was stationed onboard many ships as a Gunners Mate First Class which took him all around the world including a stint in the Vietnam war. After his retirement of over 20 years of military service he then went to college and obtained his degree in Accounting and Finance all while working for the USPS where he retired after over 20 years of loyal service.
