Gerun Moore Obituary

Moore, Gerun
100, of Sun City, AZ passed away on April 11, 2010. Born in New Orleans, La in 1910 this charismatic man was a famous New Orleans jazz band leader during prohibition playing the well-known hotels in Florida, Chicago, New York, L.A. and Maine. He played with some of the greats, including Louis Prima, Sid Caesar, Bobby Hackett, and Gene Austin. His true passion was Numerology, and he was considered "America's No. 1 Numerologist" having written several books, his most notable being "Numbers Will Tell" in the 1970's.
