Rev. Moore was a phenomenal man!
To this day he remains my mentor. I loved his handshake. My Mom was the organist at church and could not say enough praise for him. I also cherish the canoeing, portaging and mountain climbing with him he introduced this and so much more. I miss him but treasured the memories.

To all the Moore Family,
Sorry to be so late in signing the Guest Book. My Computer was down for a long time. Rev. Dr. Moore was a wonderful minister---kind, loving,compassionate man. He baptized our son in E. Greenbush Meth. Church and both our son & daughter attended Sunday School. My late husband, David P. Plume and I sang in the 500 Voice Festival of Praise Choir with Peg & Stan Moore. Also, we went X/Ctry.skiing with them. Before my husband died Rev. Moore
attended a "Hymn Sing" on Feb. 11, 2007
with eleven fanily members at Ann Lee Nursing Home. He was so kind to attend and share his wonderful singing voice. Also, on Feb.24, 2007 Rev. Moore spoke at my husband's Memorial Service at the Newtonville United Methodist Church. We all appreciated his prescence and will never forget his kindness.
On behalf of my daughter, Deborah Plume and my son, David S. Plume and I will always keep his memory in our hearts. "God Bless" all of you!
Mrs. Joyce T. Plume

Dear Barbara and Family,
It has been too many years, but perhaps you rememer me. The years we shared at East Greenbush UMC have shaped our lives in a profound way; namely due to one special man... He is with the Lord now, and someday we shall be re-united. I was able to tell him last year (on the phone) how important he was in shaping my character and life. I miss him so much, but look forward to many great hikes and trips with him in the next life. Thank you for sharing Rev. Stan Moore with all of us who also loved him so.

Dear Moore Family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Dad & Grandfather! What a special man he was! He influenced my life in so many ways through our East Greenbush church life. He led us on memorable canoe trips, MYF meetings,youth projects and church services and many other wonderful events. Your mom was also my music teacher in 6th grade and indeed today I still think of her when I hear "Jeriamiah Was a Bullfrog"!
I think your parents example of living a Christian life,underlies my beliefs, prayer life and love for music and the outdoors. I am sure that God will say to your Dad,"Well done good and faithful servant", for he was that shining example to many. You are all in my prayers and thoughts!

Dear Becky and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Rev. Moore's passing. He was an important person in my life and always an inspiration. I think of him often in all my travels and hikes up some of his favorite mountains. I will miss sending him postcards and hearing his many stories of his travels. I'm sorry I missed the service, as I did not hear the news until now. My thoughts are with you all.

Dear Moore Siblings,
I am sorry that I couldn't make it to the Memorial for your Dad. I wanted to see you all and share memories of our times together. The last time we saw him was in Saratoga at the Citroen car get together. You were with him, Steve.
It was a pleasure and priviledge to know him. We had a great time with all the planned activities that he was instrumental in planning. Loron, Bruce and Keith are better for having him as our minister.

Dear Becky and everyone,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad's illnes and subsequent death. I didn't know him well, but since I met him when Martin and Bassim were killed, I felt a special bond with him. The prayer he prayed at their funerals will stay with me always, and the kindness and generosity he showed my sons and me at that time by having us in his home warmed my heart during an emotionally cold time.
He and your mom raised a uniquie family with good values, morals and a zeal for life. The legacy he leaves behind is all of you and your goodness and kindness.
I wish I could have been there so you could have leaned on me, Becky. But I hope you know that you never leave my heart. I love you and will continue keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
I am grateful for having known your dad and my life is fuller because of his presence.
All my love,
Charlene

Dear Bill Steve Becky and Barb,
Some of my fondest memories involve activities with your Dad leading the way. I was in awe of his strength and stamina. It wasn't until later in life I realized it was really the internal strength that was so admirable. He taught us all who were fortunate to be involved with MYF such a strong foundation to continue on with our lives family and careers. I am deeply saddened by his passing but somehow know he is smiling while looking down at his countless contributions. Simple things like learning how to pray. We are definitley better people having the opprtunity to know this man. You will remain in my prayers.

To family,
Reverend Moore truly illuminated the world. He was able to preach by being, to nourish the mind and comfort the soul. It was a blessing to have known him.

Moore Family It is with a heavy heart that I recall all the times I spent with your Father. Building a church, goi.ng to Cabot Vt to connect an electric stove, Going to Chestertown for the Third Masonic degree for my brother (Rev Rymer Davis} They were in the Doctoral program together. I still have a letter from him after he left EGUMC. He left a mark on many. May God bless you.

I was saddened to hear that the Captain has made his final passage home. Although I only knew him a short time, I did get to experience his calming presence, heard many stories of his cars and time spent with his family.
Rebecca, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family at this difficult time.

Bill,Steve,Becky,Barb and the extended Moore family,
We were truly saddened to learn that Rev Moore has gone to the place that he has taught so many people about. When we think about a person in our childhood that stands out for faith, inspiration,character building, and self discipline Stan Moore is that most distinct person.
The life lessons that he taught to so many, organizing hikes,canoe trips and other activities in the church have stayed with us and have been passed on to our own children, even how to shake hands and look directly into the eyes. Stan could shake your hand and seemed to be able to look into your soul.
Our thoughts are with you at this time but take comfort that your father and your family are a part of so many lives. May your memories sustain your family.

Dear Family,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Doctor Moore's passing. My mother, Alice Lannon, was Doctor Moore's secretary at Trinity during his tenure there.
Doctor Moore was a wonderful pastor and a truly kind person. I know he will be greatly missed, especially by those whose life he touched.

Becky, Steve, Bill and Barb,
I, too,was so saddened to read of your Dad's passing....Where would I start to recall all the memories of him in my young life? I remember his astuteness, but softness, his kind heart, his wonderful laugh, his amazing love for adventure and his dedication to the people he loved in his personal life and the United Methodist Church of EG. Also,the Youth fellowship trips that were so inspirational to me. I think that is where my love for traveling started.
I remember my Dad and yours and so many others, working so hard on planning, developing and building the church at Hayes and Gilligan Road. What an accomplishment for all of them.
Becky, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I know that all of you must feel a tremendous void. I so hope to be able to spend a little time with all of you on Sunday and share in your lives.
I remember your Dad coming to my house after my father's memorial service and telling me that the greatest gift I could give my father, was to live my life in honor and memory of him. "Live life like you know he wanted you to", he said. I have always remembered those words and hope they will give you some comfort too. God knows that our parents teach us so much all of our lives....
My love and sympathy to each and everyone of you.

Dear Becky and Moore Family:
I had not seen Reverend Moore in over 30 years. Yet, I think of him often. I would have been the person I am today without his guidance through words and example. He invited young people to participate in church services and organized memorable youth group trips up mountains. I crawled to the top as he kidded me into success.
So, I discovered a love of the outdoors and physical challenge, and I continue to pursue activities like biking and rowing and remember his enthusiasm and laugh and His support of novices.
I feel blessed to know people who have had inspirational, accomplished and FUN lives. Stan Moore was one of these folks. I know he will be missed. Thanks for shareing your family with church members and friends.

My condolences to the four of you on the loss of your amazing father. In my mind's eye, we're still kids who went to Sunday School together. Stanley Moore was minister of the Port Henry, NY Methodist Church until I was in 7th grade. Young as I was, he always made me feel as if I was as important as any adult in the congregation. He and his family led by an example that I still try to follow. I will never forget him.

Steven,
You and I were classmates and friends in Port Henry, NY, and I just adored your parents. I cried when you all left... though I learned to love Rev. Ives and his family.
I still have our second grade class picture, and I have it on the computer. Let me know if you want it and I'll send it to you.
October 7, 2009
There have been some wonderful pastors at the First United Methodist Church in East Greenbush, but for me, the one who stands out is Reverend Moore. He was not only a wonderful minister, but a true friend to our whole family. I want to thank you Mrs. Moore, and your family for sharing your husband and their father with us for so many years.

Rebecca,
Now is a time of recollection; times you laughed together, talked together,
times when his caring and love helped you get through a hard place.
It is also a time for tears, as you say "good-bye" to your Dad, the first man to ever love you.
Now is also a time of renewal, when the lessens he taught become yours to live & give; a time to remember your Dad, and keep him alive always,in everything you do, but especially in your heart.
Whatever you may need is but a call away; my cable tow is tied to both you and Tim .

Steve, Bill, Becky and Barb - I was quite surprised to be scanning the obits and to see your Dad had passed. He always seemed like he could go on forever. Fran and I have you in our thoughts and prayers. Let's hope your Dad doesn't make God wince when they shake hands. Our love to you and your families.

There are simply no words adequate to describe the truly remarkable Stan Moore. It was virtually impossible for one to be in his presence and come away unaffected. His ability to reach others at the deepest level may have been one of his greatest strengths, but he remained humble to the end, always managing somehow to turn a compliment back on the giver. To the Moore Family, I extend my heartfelt sympathy; and I both grieve with you and, at the same time, rejoice at his body's being released from suffering and his soul's being released to join his beloved Peg once more. Peace and love,

Dear Family, I went to Ireland in 1998 in a group with your mom and dad. They were wonderful people and I thoroughly enjoyed their company, wit, and wisdom. Very fond memories. I am so sorry to hear of their passing.

With great sadness I learned this morning of the death of Rev. Stan Moore. He was an extraordinary individual in every way, and he made a great impression on me. When he was elevated to District Superintendent from his Pastorate at Trinity in Albany the congregation was invited to a celebration in parish hall following the morning service. I was a member of the choir, and it was my honor to have been asked to prepare a poem to read to the assemblage following luncheon. I decided to make it a "celebrity roast" and proceeded to poke fun at many of Stan's more notable attributes. Although I was a bit apprehensive about joshing this wonderful Man of God in front of all the parishoners, I was pleased when it was received with great appreciation and applause. I have a cassette recording of the reading, and the one who laughed the loudest was Stan. I included such lines as "Like the Father of Our Country, in Stan we take great pride; he even looks like Washington, especially from the side." And this: "We're glad he's being promoted, and we understand how he feels, but isn't he overdoing it to be driving a car that kneels?" It has been some years since I have had the pleasure of seeing Stan and Peg but I have thought of them fondly so many times. Stan was unique, and the world is much poorer for his passing.

Stephen,
There is no reason in the world that you should remember me. We were pals in the same class at Port Henry "High" School from K - ?, when you moved to East Greenbush. Several of us from the Church went and spent time at your new home.
I will not forget your Mom or your Dad. There was something about both of them that made an impression on me as a boy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you mourn your Dad's passing and celebrate his life.
