I have many fond memories vistiting with the Moore family, but visiting over the holidays and watching Ohio State football at their house will not be forgotten. Mr. Moore was a man of few words, but when he said something, you listened. He demanded respect, and he got it. Betty, Rose, Erica, and the rest of the Moore clan, I am deeply sorry for your loss. He will be missed dearly by all that knew him.

Our prayers are with all of you in the loss of your husband and father. He is now at peace. We miss all of you here in Norwalk, OH.

What a great person to have had in my life. Mr. Moore, as I knew him, was always courteous, kind and a great roll model for a young little neighbor boy playing next door. God bless you Mr. Moore. Til we meet again.

To the Moore family,

I remember a happy, easy going neighbor that handled with such grace things like a golf ball going through the Moore kitchen window. The next thing Jim saw after I used a 9 iron in stead of the recommended pitching wedge at the Evans driving range (ie...our back yard) was a 12 y/o (me) neighbor knocking at his door, claiming the it was extremely windy out today. So today I toast Jim Moore....Toad Hall and the wonderful Moore family.....miss you all..

Michael A Evans and the Evans family.
