Upon retirement he became of counsel for the law firm of Schragger, Schragger and Lavine. Jerry was a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association and the Mercer County Bar Association. He was active in Republican politics from 1950 to 1960 prior to his appointment to the bench, and was a candidate for the 15th Congressional District, (Mercer and Burlington Counties), N.J.

Dear Mrs Moore and Family,

I hope your well. It has been a year, and I noticed one thing on his obit, like my brother Paul the Judge graduated from John Marshall, and Paul was married by a Juris Doctor of John Marshall, in the Westin Hotel June 1986. The best are gone, all that remains are a select few of people I knew. On a Wednesday they would meet, and I wonder who asked for the mud pie, that made me fire a waiter, who couldn't handle it, inside joke. in the words of Sgt of Arms, everything is fine Peter is there!

Dear Mrs Moore and Family,

Please except my deepest sympathy at the passing of Judge Moore. Judge Moore was the Co-Pilot of my a Greatuncle Staff Sergeant Walter M Greer's B-26 in the 391st Bomber Group. Judge Moore was very kind in entertaining my phone calls and mail correspondence several years back. He is one of the Greatest Generation and I'm glad I had the honor of talking with him. My Uncle Walter spoke very highly of Jerry and said he was one of the best.

With Kindest Regards
Ken

Dear Mrs Moore,

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of Judge Moore. Twenty Six years of knowing the two of you thanks to Judge Barlow and Henry Murphy, not many of the old gang are left. Friday nights with the two of you or in a group it makes the phrase customer and owner know each other. My Mom and Dad would like to express their sympathy as well as their health is not good and I try my best by myself. May you take solace that Judge Moore will always be there in spirit and I will miss him as even i would see the two of you in Freddies, when the Urbano's owned it. take care Mrs Moore and Family, I always felt i was family with you and your kids!
