Timothy Moore Obituary
July 16, 1934 - October 27, 2010
Tim Moore, age 76, passed away peacefully on October 27, 2010. Born in Fresno, California to John Arthur (Art) Moore and Elizabeth (Betty) Webster Moore, the family settled in Southern California when Tim was five. Tim grew up in Arcadia, graduating from Monrovia, Arcadia, Duarte High Schools in 1952. Tim attended Stanford University where he graduated in 1956 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. Tim went on to graduate school at Stanford, receiving his master's degree in business administration in 1958. He traveled throughout the U.S. working in sales for Autonetics and settled in Manhattan Beach in the mid 1960s as vice president of sales for Genesco. Tim lived on The Strand and loved the beach life. In the early 1980s he chose an alternate career path and became an electrical general contractor. His intellectual passion was rewiring homes built in the early 20th Century. Tim, an avid reader, devoured three newspapers daily. Tim worked throughout the South Bay and moved to Torrance in the late 1990s where he lived with his beloved dogs, Fred and Ginger. Tim is survived by his brother, Patrick Earl Moore of Temple City. His sister, Doreen Gail Moore, predeceased him. He is also survived by his former wife, Louisa Ross Moore of Los Angeles and a host of close friends from high school, college and his many years in the South Bay. A celebration of Tim's life will be held after the beginning of the New Year. Those wishing to be notified of the date and time should contact [email protected].

My name is Victor Pisacane. I worked for Tim and my Brother Louie in the 80's. Justin Bower who also worked for Tim told me about his passing. We were all more than just workers and all had good friendships and respect for the man. He was both the grumpiest and warm and kindest person I have ever worked for. He helped me more than he may have known. I have fond memories of long days in the old yellow van with Yellow Dog. Also good memories of the Strand house.

My name is Justin Bower and worked with Tim for many years. I would say i knew him very well. My kids called him Santa Clause, because he would always have something for them. Either an old switch or tool that barely worked. We would have the great discussion on politics as we would drive from job to job. I would stop by the house from time to time and make sure he was still doing ok. Last week I stopped by and the next door neighbor mentioned Tim had an accident and was in the hospital and had passed due to complications. I will miss him he was a beloved friend.

Tim lived in my grandparents' beach building on The Strand in the 1970s, so I've known him since I was a little kid. He was always very friendly and had a dog with him. When Yellow Dog had 4 puppies in 1981, we got one of them named Megan (whom we had for 17 wonderful years). Tim would stop by our house with Yellow Dog to visit so she could play Megan and chat with our family. I will miss him. Amy Swindle (Manhattan Beach/San Diego).

Tim is a great friend, and particularlly good friend to his many companion dogs, I remember particularlly "yellow dog" a sweet yellow lab. I'm sad I didnt call Tim about the MAD "Wildcat" reunion on Oct 2nd, I meant to, many friends there asked me about him. I last talked to Tim about three months ago.I told him to drop by my home if he was back at the El Segundo dog park where he often took his puppies.
God Bless and Godspeed Tim, you are sorely missed and forever remembered,
