The news of Mr. Light's passing deeply saddens me. As I drove past and witnessed the multitude of people celebrating his life, it became quite evident that he had touched the lives of many, both directly and indirectly. Although I only had a brief interaction with him in passing, I was able to express my gratitude and appreciation for his stunning array of lights. Mr. Moore, year after year, you brought joy to our neighborhood.
I will forever be grateful for the memories your magnificent display of Christmas lights created for me and my family. Thank you once again for the light you brought into everyone's lives.
My deepest condolences to your family and friends, may your memory continue to provide light when there is darkness.
With love and admiration,
Your Fellow Neighbor

I live in the neighborhood and always looked forward to the Christmas lights. I would often see Mr. Moore putting the lights up and the arduous process of bringing them down. It was such a nice thing to do during the holidays. My condolences to his family during this time.

To the entire Moore family.. so sorry to learn of Don's passing. May all the wonderful memories of him from the past be a source of healing and comfort to you now during this difficult time. Don and I were classmates at Bishop Brady (Class of 68). He was one of the "good guys" for sure.

Don will be missed by so many, especially those he grew up, like myself with and those who became his second family within CFD.
Don would make a positive impression on all he came to know and for that we will forever be grateful.

I am so sorry to hear of Donny's passing. I worked with him at CFD for over 20 years. I'd also see him delivering flowers and we'd wave to each other or have a quick chat. He was a great guy and I'll miss him. My condolences to his family-I'm sure he was very proud of you all.
