He passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 4, 2008, at the age of 87 with his family at his side.
The son of Naomi and Charles Moore of Kenton, he is survived by his wife of 68 years, Maxine Moore of Maumee; his daughter, Mary Ellen Graham of Brooklyn, Mich.; grandsons, J.B. Graham and Elise of Toledo, Daniel Earl and Charlene Adams of Swanton and Douglas Jay and Sarah Adams of Maumee; great-grandchildren Austin Smith; Alexandria, Cody, Casey, Nicole and Billy Adams; and Keegan and Marina Adams; sisters, Esther Redick of Cincinnati and Doris Collinsworth of Kenton and has generations of nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his daughter, Sandra Kay Adams and granddaughter, Jennifer Kay Smith Adams; brother, Glen Moore and sisters, Hannah Cosart, Bessie Fireband and Addie Ward.
He lived his life with passion, always putting his family first. He was sensitive and helped those in need and looked out for his friends. He was a man of his word, a man you could count on when no one else was looking.
His roots were in Kenton, where as a young boy he worked on the family farm. At 16 years of age, he traded a pig for his first car, a Model T Ford. At 18, he took his first job after leaving the farm, as a welder for Champion Equipment Company in Kenton. In 1941 he married the love of his life, Maxine C. Wells.
He enlisted in the army in 1944, during World War II, volunteering to train and participate in experimental jumps as part of the 511th Parachute Infantry Regiments, 11th Airborne Division. As a sergeant, he soon was on his way to New Guinea in the South Pacific for intensive training to learn jungle warfare and prepare for the invasion of Manila where he made combat parachute drops and faced bitter fighting, often hand-to-hand combat. As part of the 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment, he moved on to the Philippines to begin the next big operation, the invasion of the Japanese home islands. Plans for the jump were cancelled as the plane landed after the Japanese surrendered in August of 1945. The division moved to Okinawa to spearhead the occupation in an area around Yokohama in Japan. He had arrived two weeks before the peace treaty was signed. He found humor in the fact that the 1st Cavalry Division, whose claim was "1st in Manila, 1st in Tokyo," he was already there, standing on the docks with the 11th Airborne Division waiting for the arrival of General Douglas MacArthur, along with the 1st Cavalry. The band played the special song "The old gray mare ain't what she used to be."
He returned home from the war on Feb. 9, 1946, and rejoined his wife and two-year-old daughter, and soon moved to Maumee. He graduated from Scott High School and attended the University of Toledo and Ohio Northern College while starting his own business as a master plasterer and general repair contractor. For over 20 years, he created original ornate plaster designs for the downtown theatres in Toledo and built custom molds to repair ornate designs found in Toledo's finest mansions. His ceiling and coves were distinctive with his style and are still appreciated by hundreds of homeowners throughout Northwest Ohio.
He enjoyed flying after he had obtained his pilot license and was a member of the Pilot's Association, AOPA. He was a 32nd degree Mason and a Master Mason of The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Ohio, Northern Light, Maumee; the Grand Lodge Endowment Fund Committee and the Lodge Council Chapter Consistory of the Scottish Rite Bodies in the Valley of Toledo. He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce of Maumee and the Republican National Committee, a member of the 11th Airborne Division Association, the American Legion Post 198, Kenton and a Life Member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, Post 11115.
