Moss Point, MS – Mr. Theodore von Sprecken passed away on February 24, 2012, his 92nd birthday, at his home in Moss Point, MS. Born in North Carolina in 1920, he graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He then proudly spent two years in the U.S. Army during World War II and achieved the rank of Captain. After his military duty, he started work with the Southern Railroad Company. One of his frequent work location transfers took him to Mobile, Alabama. He liked the northern Gulf coast and later accepted a job with the Mississippi Export Railroad in Moss Point, where he worked his way up to the position of Vice President/General Manager. He was involved in politics and was a member of Pascagoula Rotary Club, being a Paul Harris Fellow.
