Not sure what to say?

I was in Mr. Moore's physical education class in my senior year 1971-72. One day we practiced on the trampoline and I hit the edge where the springs are and got a bloody nose. Mr. Moore gave me an "A" for the day and patted me on the back. He was one of the most admired faculty members and I'll never forget him. RIP Mr. Moore.

Mr. Lonny Moore was my co-op for student teaching in my last semester at West Chester University. His ability to connect with students, other staff members, and people in general amazed me. When I went on to a teaching' coaching, and administrative career I tried to emulate him in every way. Besides my parents, he was one of the most influential people in my life. I am saddened to hear of his passing. I wish his family comfort and peace. He was the best.

Syl and I join so many others in extending our finest condolences on the passing of Coach Moore.

Coach Moore would do anything to help a student. I was there in the late 70's and I appreciate all he did for me. Thanks again Coach.

Lonny was like a Whirling Dervishes gone from one project to the next and working every day in the summer for Bethany West and on the Bethany Beach 4th of July Parade.

A person like Lonny comes along once in your life if you are lucky - just like Halleys Comet they come along once every 75 to 76 years.

I am gone to miss you my friend and thank you for your friendship.

God Bless . Lonnie was an outstanding individual. I had the opportunity to know him for many years. We lost a top notch quality person . Dave Strock

My prayers is with your family.
Mr. Moore, Coach, was one of the greatest men I have had the pleasure of meeting in my life. I met Coach Moore while attending PHS. He took me under his wing not only as a football player, but as a young man as well.
I don't know if people really knew how special this man was. During my last two years of high school, Coach would drive out his way every morning and pick me up and take me to school. Not because he had to but because he always told me ...

Oh the stories my dad Don Seeley told me about Lonnie and was always a treat for us to visit when he and his wife lived in Royersford. I looked up to Mr Moore as so many did, he was an amazing man. I hope everyone finds some peace in the coming days and months ahead. This world lost a fine man, we are all feeling a little less without his spirit on earth but I'm sure he's making a name for himself in heaven! Rest In Peace Mr. Moore. Love Alison and the Seeley family.

Coach,
I will always remember you being there to provide support for myself or any of the team. You really helped shape many of us Into the men we grew up to be. Thanks for pushing us!!
