Moe attended Saint Anselm College, MIT, and New Hampshire University, where he received a degree in Chemical  Engineering. He worked in the paper industry at many levels until he retired as Vice President of Major Projects with Champion International (now International Paper).

His area of expertise was coated paper. He was assigned to head significant paper mill expansions such as the Sartell Paper Mill in Minnesota or new (green field) mills such as Quinnesec Paper Mill in Michigan, a leading North American producer of graphic and specialty papers, packaging, and pulp, established in 1985, funded by Warren Buffet of Berkshire Hathaway.

The Quinnesec Mill has continued to thrive as the economic anchor of Dickinson County for over three decades. Since 2001, the mill has been certified as an Occupational Safety and Health Administration Star facility under the Michigan Voluntary Protection Program (MVPP). The MVPP Star Award is the state’s highest recognition for workplace safety programs and performance.

As a Trustee of Saint John University, he also experienced the need for a college education for engineers up close. Moe served on The Council of the Golden Anselmians and established a scholarship for young engineers.

His retirement days were rarely spent on the golf course, as he was busy with his personal and other major building projects. Aside from his keen sense of engineering and ability to think outside the box and design new spaces, he was a talented, fine woodworker. He built complex furniture in his shop. (see Photo Gallery).

After losing his first wife, Sylvia Asselin, in 2004, he married Nicolette Asselin in 2007. Together, they continued building additional important public benefit projects. Read. Following a serious fall, as he was unhappy and bored at one of 5-star assisted living on Cape Cod, he chose to participate as an advisor with his wife Nicolette Asselin, a retired physician involved in research with The Oasis Institute, for the building of Oasis Brewster. He was a major player in bringing to life a new concept to assist people in staying active, living purposeful lives while remaining at home. This photo gallery will show how hard he has built this concept in the last three years until he left us following an unexpected turn of events. More
