Ross David Mosier, 12, 1972 poster child for the National Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde R. Mosier of San Jose, Calif., formerly of Memphis, died Tuesday of the incurable hereditary disease in Palo Alto, Calif. Graveside services will be at 1 p.m. Saturday in Memorial Park. As the 1972 poster child for the foundation, young Mosier helped raise funds to support more than 100 research centers across the country. He was diagnosed in 1969 as a cystic fibrosis patient with digestive and respiratory complications. For much of his life he slept under a plastic aerosol tent and received daily physical therapy, but was otherwise active. Memorial Park Funeral Home has charge. He also leaves a sister, Miss Emily Mosier of the home, and his grandmothers, Mrs. Frances Mosier and Mrs. Lillie Parchman, both of Memphis. The family requests that any memorials be sent to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at 4646 Poplar. (Published in The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, TN, on March 27, 1980)
