What a wonderful man! I am so sad to hear of his passing. I met him on the first day of our book club and looked forward to our monthly meetings and his insightful comments. He was such a gentleman. My condolences to his family during this difficult time.

Dwight was an amazing, thoughtful man and a great minister. My memories and thoughts go back over 40 years. He was a great friend to me and my family members for many many years. In January 2007, Dwight traveled to Gloucester to conduct my brother's funeral. It was very cold, snowy and icy, but he came anyway. I'll never forget him and his kindness.
My mother,Mary Colgan, was so very fond of Dwight and he loved her cooking. I know he will be missed by his loving family. May he rest in peace.

I grew up looking up to Rev. Moore - he was our family minister. He was a very dear & special man to my whole family - always being there for us. Even six years ago he presided over my father's funeral. He will truly be missed. My deepest sympathy to his family.
