GREGORY MOORE
I met Greg Moore exercising at the pool almost 4 years ago at the Lion's recreation center in Holladay. Maybe that seems like an unlikely place to meet or make good friends, but there it happened with myself and several others. We all apprecitated Greg as he kept a vigil at a specific spot which we all came to know him for.
All of us made coming to the pool a friendly experience, just by getting to know each other by name and learning our own special interests and life stories.
I learned the Greg had many good friends. He even had a friend Kathy at the rec enter that would wave to him from the window and they would make a sign with their hands for the Utes. Some of his friends were from childhood, from school, from his work, Delta or Mt Fuel, the military, the singles ward and his other church affiliations, from the days in bountiful So many of you are here today.
But first and foremost in Greg's conversations he talked about his family; His mother, Lucille, His father Vic, his two brothers Randy and Reggie, His son Jason, grandchildren Zach and Ashton, Jason's wonderful wife and partner Nikki and Nikki's children, brothers, family. . He also told me of his second family, Pam and the four boys, Brad, Brian, Brandon, and Brett, and their time in Bountiful with a lovely home and friends.
AS I got to know Greg more he also like to talk of his travels around the world, his church functions, how he liked to watch old movies, watch baseball games at the park, and go on drives out to Stansbury to take his mother Lucille to lunch.
When I first met him, he was sporting a ponytail. I think this partially came from the motorcycle years, his Harley and travels with his buddies and wives to Sturgis. I might add that he was not just interested in motorcycles. I understand he had so many different cars through the years that he couldn't even remember how many he had. Well over a hundred.
But back to his hair, one Veterans Day that skinny unfortunate ponytail came off with a free haircut from Supercuts (he was also known for his frugality) and he showed us all his beautiful head of wavy white hair. What most men wouldn't give for that full head of hair.
And when they say he was a Utes fan, it just doesn't say enough. He had flags, clothing, a door mat, red towels, his red Mercedes, key ring, hats, you name it, the logo was everywhere. Even further he had a password of no cougars for me. And if you had ever watched a game with him, you would know why I usually stayed far enough away not to hear his comments on refs. He actually had ties specifically to wear to church sporting red for his Utes if they had won the previous week.
Greg held many church positions. When I first met him I thought perhaps he was a throwback hippie with that ponytail, but I came to find out he had been in the military and was also quite active in his church. He invited me and I sat next to him on the pew in his ward (which was nice because I was shy about people approaching me) and I felt completely comfortable attending the church of my upbringing. I watched him prepare thoroughly for the classes he taught. It was clear he had such a great devotion and love for his faith. He also showed his devotion and generous soul by helping the man next to him every week with taking the sacrament, as he was handicapped.
And because he had worked for Delta he had travel benefits which he was generous with. I travelled as his companion several times. With the challenges of his health, I became accustomed to travelling through airports with wheelchairs, driving in cars taking several breaks, finding rooms that were suitable for his needs. I'm so grateful for this as now I am able to put into practice, these things I learned with my own mother. It is something I will always be grateful for and remember him fondly for.
Music was something else Greg loved besides his church. We even drove to Wendover once to see the Temptations one year. A way to remember Greg would be to set your radio to the 50s or 60s stations. It was his favorite and be sure to turn the volume up very loud.
I would like to close by saying that my life has been richer and greatly enhanced by my friendship with Greg as I'm sure it has been for many others. I've had a special love for him. He was an example of a generous soul and steadfast, reliable gentleman. I appreciate the opportunity to have known him and to speak here today on his behalf. I thank you Greg, now and always.
Love, Suzanne

We knew Greg when he lived in Lake Pines. We've tried to keep in touch and lately we shared exercise time with him at the Lion's Club. We always talked Utah sports. We love him. Go Utes.

Greg was one of my dearest friends. When I got married he is the only single male friend in my life. He was smart, fun to be with, and very kind to everyone. Gosh, I'll miss you, Greg.
