Few people in the last century have had more impact on Sioux Falls – or even South Dakota – than Buck Moore. His family can be proud of his legacy as a modern day pioneer (and cowboy) whose perseverance, vision and optimism changed the landscape of banking, crop insurance and our community. I particularly remember the meeting where he assembled several of us to start an organization to change the sagging fortunes of downtown Sioux Falls. It made a difference that still is felt today. He had a huge impact on the local success of Northwestern/Norwest banks by focusing on the customers and responding to their needs. Buck has been an inspiration to me and was an incredible friend to Suzanne and me. Larry Fuller

Buck was a natural leader who inspired all of us to go over any hill with him and did so many things because no one ever told him it couldn't be done. We share in your sorrow of separation as you celebrate his incredible life of contribution. Our prayers are for your comfort and rejoice in the promise of eternal life.

We just celebrated Grandad's 90th birthday with a big country western celebration in Arizona in January. We were all so lucky to have had that time with him and it truly was a night to remember. So full of life, dancing and singing, that is the way I will always remember my Grandad- love, love, love was surrounding our family that night, and will continue to comfort us as we mourn the loss of one of a kind. Love you Grandad! XOXOXOX

Buck will always have a special place in my heart. He lived a great life and his tough Montana upbringing served him well as he helped the bank through the toughest agricultural crisis in its history!
