Mr. Moses G. Barquoi Sr.

(2 Timothy Chapter 4 verses 7-8) I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteousness Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that The Barquoi and McCarthy families announce the sudden home going of our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, cousin and friend Mr. G. Moses Barquoi Sr. This sad event occurred on Friday December 4, 2020 at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA, USA.

He attended the University of Liberia and obtained his BSC in 1981. Following his graduation, he worked for the Liberian National Police (CID) for 15 years, and rose to the rank of full colonel. In pursuance of his Master’s Degree, he relocated to the United States and attended Howard University. Several years later he moved his family to Philadelphia where he successfully established the first Liberian-owned African store Mosel International Market with his beloved wife.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 40 years Mrs. Elizabeth McCarthy Barquoi, beloved sister and mother figure Garmai Barquoi, children: Garmai Ballah, Yanquoi Barquoi, Sia Barquoi (Clarence), Saah Barquoi (Esther), Dr. Bana G. Barquoi, Suwah Barquoi, Moses G. Barquoi Jr, Kebbeh Barquoi (Beweh), grandchildren: McKeen Golo Doe, Patrick Dulu Barquoi, Gaduobah McCarthy Doe, Munah Elizabeth Doe, Moses Sumo Barquoi, David & Davina Ballah, siblings: Edwin Barquoi, Lawou Barquoi, Suwah Wubu Barquoi, Mama Barquoi, Harrietta Zumoh, nieces, nephews, a host of other relatives, close friends and his Eternal Life Missionary Baptist Church Family.

He will truly be missed and cherished by all who came in contact with him.
