I just ran across his notice here. He was one of my Jr Pro football coaches back in the mid-'70's at Dairy Queen, assisting Lee Waters. I think of them periodically. Wish I had spoken to him more recently.

RIP

Mr Moore was my Jr Pro football coach. I remember one time I blocked a punt and it knocked the air out of me. Mr Moore came from Sideline and picked me up and took me all the way to the bench. Freddie his son has always been a friend and I will miss Mr Moore. Grest gentleman
