He was born in Coffeen on Sept. 23, 1938, to Samuel Wayne Moore and Noi Flo (Moreland) Moore. He spent most of his early life in Coffeen and Hillsboro. A large portion of that time being spent in the woods hunting and fishing as he was an avid outdoorsman his whole life.
He met and married the love of his life, Nellie Eileen Fenton. They were married on Sept. 23, 1956. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He provided for his family as a self-employed man for most of his working career.
He was also a spiritual man, joining the Hillsboro congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses in June 1973, then joining the Town Center congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Port Charlotte, FL, in 2002. He and his contagious smile will certainly be missed by all that knew and loved him.
