To the family of Dr. Frederic Moore II; Please know that my two children and I will never forget the kindness and genuine care and love he gave to my two babies from birth and well into their adolescent years. I was a young 18-year-old wife and mother when I had my first son and it seemed that Dr. Moore knew instinctively that I was doing everything in my power to be a great loving and caring mother and he did everything in his power to help me accomplish this. When my children would be extremely ill, he was always willing to come to my home when I called him. After treating my child, he would always sit down in my living room and play a couple of tunes on my cord organ. I don't know if that was to ease his tension or mine. Once I called him on a Sunday morning and advised him I thought that my daughter had red measles and chicken pox at the same time. He said, "Normally, that's not possible, but knowing how your children always seem to have some rare illnesses, I'll be right over." He arrived shortly and confirmed my worse fears--red measles and chicken pox together. My children (now 50 and 51) still talk about him to this day--they remember that fish tank, that wonderland wall hanging and the seagull with wings that moved when the string was pulled. I'll always remember and cherish his excellent service and advice. He was definitely an angel sent from above to help me become the best mother possible. He may be gone from this earth, but I know he's looking down on us from heaven and will finely know how truly special he was to his patients and that he will always hold a special place in our hearts forever.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.
Even though I only knew Dr. Moore for a brief time,he was a true inspiration. Dr. Moore would just beam with pride when he spoke about his wife,childern and especially his grandchildern.My deepest sympathy is with the Moore family.Just remember he may be gone from this earth,but he will forever live in the hearts of all that knew & loved him.

To the Moore Family.. I am writing on behalf of my late parents, Miriam and Jim Rowe and my bother Mike,my sister Kay.. I am the now 50 year old "baby" Martha. I hope that you remember how much fun Fred and my father and Red Young and George Bruner and John Tigh had in the Power Squadron. I also remember the many years that he took care of my brother sister and me. I will never forget his caring way and soothing voice. I remember a specific year when I was about 9 or 10 and had a terrible stomach ache just after Halloween. I think I just ate toooo much candy.. but Fred thought that perhpas I might be allergic to chocolate and that perhaps I should lay off for a while:).. I decided that I would lay off of ANYTHING but chocolate and remain a confirmed chocoholic today.. I think that was his loving was of saying that I had eaten tooo much.. we laughed about it for years. Fred was a wonderful man who touched this world with his love.. he will never be forgotten and we will see him in Heaven.. God Bless you all.

My mother remembers well the day that Dr. Moore diagnosed her first born son as a diabetic. While this was certainly not good news, it was the kind of news that only people with special training can confirm. I am that diabetic who would like to honor and thank Dr. Moore and his family for a life-long pursuit of helping people get answers. That was 1966. I'm now 47 years old. I'm thankful for Dr. Moore's life and give all praise to Jesus Christ!

Dr. Moore was present at my birth in 1957 as well as my son's in 1989. I will always remember "The Land of Make Believe" map which hung in his office when I visited as a child.
Dr. Moore had such a warm and knowledgeable manner, and I will always remember him fondly.
My deepest sympathy to his wife and family.

I greatly appreciated Dr. Moore's gentle demeanor and humor. Because of Dr. Moore, I never dreaded seeing the doctor, and I have shared my memories of him with my own children who aspire to be physicians.

As a little kid in the sixties I will always remember Dr. Moore made a house call after my Mom told him I was sick with a high fever. (turns out measles was the diagnosis) He was a kind doctor who always made me laugh. RIP Dr. Moore!

I dearly love this wonderful man. He took care of our children all their childhood and their last visit to him was when they left for college. As we sat with all the babies, he said, Fran, you have got to get these boys another Dr and I said why, when they have the best. My sympathy is sent to his wife and all the family.

Dr. Moore, you were a wonderful doctor to me and will be missed by all who know you.

Dr. Moore holds a special place in my heart. My mother, Dorris Broaddus, chose him as her children's pediatrician when my older sister, Melanie, was born in 1951 and when my son, Ross, was born in January 1973 she called Dr. Moore and begged him to go to Chippenham for the delivery. Imagine my sweet surprise to awaken and find him in my room after the birth of my son. Dr. Moore told me about my mother calling and explained that even though he didn't have privileges at Chippenham, he "did it for your mother" so he became my son's pediatrician and 10 years later, my daughter's pediatrician. If he hadn't retired when my daughter was a teenager, he would have been my pick for my precious grandson. As it is, we constantly refer to Dr. Moore's notes (yes, I kept them all in their baby books) for both my children when we don't agree with what Dr. Dunn recommends. My daughter, Mildred, swears there's nobody like Dr. Moore. He will be sorely missed. Our love and prayers to the family and for a great, great man. Fair winds and smooth sailing...
