John Harold Moore
WADESBORO -- Mr. Moore, 62, went home to be with his Lord on Good Friday morning, March 25, 2005, while at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte.
There will be a service to celebrate the life of Harold Moore on Easter Sunday, March 27, 2005 at 4:00 PM in First Baptist Church, with Dr. Fred Senter and Rev. David Smith officiating. Interment will follow in Anson Memorial Park. The family will greet friends tonight from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM at Leavitt Funeral Home in Wadesboro.
He was born in Anson County, NC on December 28, 1942, the son of the late Roy Wricks and Louvenia Watts Moore. Harold was a 1960 graduate of Wadesboro High School and attended Wingate College. For 34 years, he was planning director at Wansona in Wadesboro, he was a member of the Anson Rescue Squad for 21 years, a member of the Board of Directors at Pee Dee Electric for 15 years, and most recently was the carpentry instructor at Brown Creek Correctional Institute through South Piedmont Community College. Harold felt as if his work at Brown Creek was a calling God placed on his life to befriend the inmates and try being a positive influence in their lives.
He was a member of First Baptist Church, Wadesboro, where he was a member of the Charles Riddle Sunday School Class.
Surviving are his wife, Judy Bynum Moore, who was his childhood sweetheart; his sons, Todd Moore and wife, Sarah, of Concord and Tony Moore and wife, Melissa, of Charlotte; his grandchildren, Hayden Moore and John Robert Moore, who was named after his grandfather; his sister, Dianne Moore Springer and husband, Bill, of Cary; his nephews, Brad Springer of Cary and Preston Springer and wife, Deedie, of Iron Station, NC; and his special friend, Glenn Pope of Wadesboro, who was much like a brother to him.
Harold will always be remembered for being a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and brother. His sons are thankful for the positive role model he has been for them. He always sought to do good deeds for others, not expecting any praise for his labors.
Memorials may be made to Children's Miracle Network, 4525 South 2300, East Salt Lake City, UT 84117, or to Anson County Relay for Life, c/o Heritage Hills, 2000 Country Club Road, Wadesboro, NC 28170, or to the charity of the donor's choice.
The arrangements are in care of Leavitt Funeral Home in Wadesboro.

Judy and Family

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of such sorrow. I never suspected when I talked to you and Harold on Saturday that it would be my last conversation with Harold. He truly was a kind and caring man who lived his life as an example to others. May you find comfort in the wonderful memories you have.

Love

Judy, I was so very sorry to hear about Harold. He was such a comfort and help to me when my parents, who were neighbors, were ill and passed away. Especially, my mother when her mind was being robbed with the terrible disease of Alzeheimer's. I don't know how I would have made it through that difficult time had I not had him to call on. He was a wonderful person, neighbor, and friend and the world is a better place because of him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Harold's death. I was a classmate of his at WHS and remember him as a person who was kind, considerate, and much more mature than the most of us. It's clear that he used his years wisely in the service of family and community. What a great legacy for his children! My most sincere condolences to all the family.

Judy, Todd, Tony & Diane,

I was so saddened to learn of Harold's death. We were 'backyard' neighbors, from childhood through highschool.

Harold was always 'the gentleman' in every facet of his life and has left for his family a wonderful legacy of caring and giving.

He will be missed not only by his family but a multitude of friends.

My heart and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

Diane, I have wondered about you often through the years, where and how you were. I have a distinct memory (why this stands out in my mind... I don't know) of you and I sitting on your front steps watching dusk turn to night and wishing upon the 'first star I see tonight'. I know that you are going to miss your dear 'big brother' and I pray you find comfort in the love and support of friends and family. When I wish on tonight's first star, it will be for you and peace in your loss.

I was heartbroken to hear of Harold's passing. He was one of the kindest and most loving individuals that I have ever known. Harold was ten years older than me but I remember him as a young adult when we both were members of Deep Creek Baptist Church. Harold was my very favorite young person in the church simply because he always showed love with everything he said and did. Judy and family, find comfort in the wonderful life he lived and also in the new life that he now has. How very lucky he is to be able to see and touch our Saviour. God bless you all in a very special way is my prayer.

Judy, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I always knew Harold, but when he came to work at Brown Creek I had the opportunity to know him better. He was a super person and a pleasure to work with. He cared about others. He will be missed.

Judy...What a wonderful person Harold was. I was so proud to work with him for 20+ years at Wansona. He will be missed by all who knew him, especially me. He taught me so much and always had time to listen. God obviously needed a very special person in heaven.
