THOMAS LAND MOORE

Tom Moore, 70, of Lake Disston and Daytona Beach, passed away Wednesday, May 12, 2010, at Florida Hospital Flagler after the sudden onset of Acute Leukemia. The only son of the late Arthur (Terry) R. and Betty Land Moore, he leaves his wife of 44 years, Ann Taylor Moore; his daughter, Tenaya Tyler (Mrs. Art); and his son, Disston Taylor Moore, to cherish many happy memories. Born in Buffalo, NY, on July 10, 1939, during the family's annual summer visit to friends and relatives, Mr. Moore was raised in Daytona Beach and attended Seabreeze High School before graduating from Bolles Military School in Jacksonville. He attended Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, VA, prior to serving in the U.S. Army. Mr. Moore was the owner/operator of Florida Manufacturing Corporation, a family orthopedic specialty goods company with international sales that was started by his father in 1961 and is now managed by his son, Disston. With his beautiful red hair and friendly smile, Tom enjoyed meeting people and sharing his love of life with them. With his wife, Ann, and their children, he opened their home on Lake Disston to many. Mr. Moore patiently taught many local young people to water ski, and the London Symphony Orchestra looked forward to their biennial day of BBQ, boating and Mr. Moore's Famous Haw Creek Punch. During his active life, Mr. Moore enjoyed scuba diving, the Airstream Motor Home Club, and he joined his father, who was a founding member, as an avid supporter of the Quarter Back Club. In addition to the memorial service listed below, a Celebration of Life and Scattering of the Ashes will take place at Lake Disston on July 4. The family will receive friends at the old family home on Halifax Ave., Daytona Beach, on Thursday, May 20, between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Mr. Moore's great-grandfather, Henry Thomas Maine Treglown of Buffalo, NY, built the house in 1913 as a winter home; both Tom and his mother were raised there. Parking will be available at the Greek Church. A memorial service will be held Friday, May 21, at Trinity United Methodist Church at the corner of Church Street and Lemon Road in Seville, FL, at 11 a.m. Friends are invited to enjoy a repast in Pennington Hall following the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations to the Trinity United Methodist Church, the Bereavement Program at Halifax Health Hospice of Volusia/Flagler, or the Florida Audubon Society.
