Born in Ithaca, NY on October 20, 1941, Palmer graduated from Penn Yan Academy graduating class 1959 and studied engineering and electronics at Mohawk Community College and University of Buffalo. He also served as Chief Gunnery Officer in the US Navy from years 1960 to 1966.

Palmer Moore was a legend: charismatic, energetic and unstoppable. With the most exuberant smile, Palmer's passion for life brought laughter and joy to hearts all over the country, proudly promoting pickleball and finger style guitar all along the way. Palmer had a deep and devoted love for being with family; he loved making pizza, playing golf, watching the Buffalo Bills, spending the summers in his hometown lake, Keuka Lake, and spending early springs in Florida. He was the founder of Ohio Fingerstyle Guitar Club; was inducted into the Thumb Picker's National Hall of Fame in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky; stage manager of the Thumb Picker's room annually at Chet Atkins Appreciation society; organized and played in the Finger Style Guitar sessions on Tuesday nights at Scotty McBeans and then later the McConnell Arts Center; organizer of the Penn Yan Academy '59 class reunions. Palmer worked for Mohawk Data, helped develop and sell a voice answering network, then worked at JTS and later owned a consulting company, Worldwide Computer People, prior to retirement. Palmer was very active in Worthington Rotary, received a Paul Harris Fellow recognition, Linworth United Methodist Church, Linworth Alternative High School, PTA, McConnell Arts Center, active with local civic and political organizations, instrumental in establishing the Worthington skate park complex, and pickleball courts throughout the U.S. Palmer was the most encouraging and supportive person and a friend to all in addition to being one of the most unique individuals in the world, one that will never be forgotten, and one that will certainly be missed by all.

Palmer introduced me to Chet Atkins and fingerpicking guitar when we were in college together. He was one of a kind.

That smile says everything!
I officially met "Palmah" in 1999, when he convinced me to attend the annual Chet Atkins convention in Nashville, TN. We've been "pickin' buddies" ever since. My fondest memory is how he loved my guitar arrangement of "How Great Thou Art," so much so that he "stole" it from me and "Chet-ified" the second chorus just to "show-off." I'll never forget that silly grin once he finished playing it for me at one of the Ohio Fingerstyle gatherings.
Rest easy, good buddy. I'll see you in my dreams, doncha know.
