I´ll never forget you big guy. Best teacher ever I remember your daughter Tanya and I shared the same name. You would also have your son Matthew visit us. A lot of us that you taught at Jenner have kept our heads above water. We have careers and are raising our children to be even better. Rest Well Sir.

This man was one of the greatest educator I've ever had. I had him in sixth grade. We didn't use many text books....he literally taught us with words. I'll never forget his discipline tactics either....we often say we need more like Mr. Moore right now today. RIP

Mr. Moore was a very encouraging educator. He actually cared for us. I will miss our phone conversations when we would just talk about everything under the sun.

My Tribute to the best teacher ever in Cabrini Green!
Taught from his core
This man was MR. MOORE
His insights
Brought us light.
In a darken place
That sometimes was a disgrace.
A strong black man
With a voice so grand.
He he took a mighty stand.
This black intellectual
Guided our life's schedule.
Challenged our sinew
To search out new venues.
He understood what we couldn't see at that time.
Be he continued to inspired our minds.
A man so big but yet so humble in his execution
See he understood our mind's confusion.
Mr. Moore never taught to receive.
He taught hoping not to grieve....
Just to see...
You and me...
What we would be...
Mr. Moore rest with lord you earn it, you deserve it..
1980 Centennial class of Edward Jenner school!

So sad I'm not able to attend your home going but I'll never forget you or the things you have thought me, and what a live, funny and amazing spirited teacher you were to me. You always kept us laughing and encouraged us in our educational journey, we had fun while learning you'll never find too many teachers like you. You are one of a kind and I'll forever have nothing but great memories of you in my heart. Jenner alumni REST PEACEFUL IN HEAVEN N SEE YOU WHEN I GET THERE!

Love and respect you Mr. Moore! you was my mentor, and a motivational speaker to many. You taught black males how to be young men, how to respect our elders, females, and others. Truly one of the best "OUTSTANDING " teachers I had throughout my education. Class of "79" Terry W. Parker Sr.
