He was a lifelong resident of Saratoga Springs.
A graduate of Saratoga Springs High School, he received his teaching degree in English from McKendree College in Lebanon, Ill.
Dedicated to the youth of his community, he began a career of service as a camp counselor for the city of Saratoga Springs Recreation Department. At the age of 16, and under the tutelage of the late Bennie Fasulo, he coached the All Star Frogs in biddy basketball. He also continued his coaching career with the Pop Warner football program, Little League baseball, a women's softball league, Skidmore College softball and Saratoga Catholic Central High School football and baseball.
Appointed to the city's first Recreation Commission by former mayor Raymond Watkin, he received the "Outstanding Young Man" award in 1984 and was a recipient of the "Outstanding Athlete Volunteer Recognition" award in 2006.
Landon was a lifelong member of Bethesda Episcopal Church and as a younger man had enjoyed regularly singing with the Bethesda Choir. Well-known for his love of life and infectious laugh, he enjoyed many things, including the Jazz Festival, his Fourth of July parties and his annual Christmas parties at the Moore home.

He is also survived by his brother, Eskey Moore; sister, Deborah Moore; his mother-in-law, Maureen Hartman; brothers-in-law, Marc (Shannon) Hartman and Jason Hartman;
sisters-in-law, Lori (Sheila) Hartman and Lisa (Abe) Bates; and several loving nieces and nephews.

Landon was one of my high school football coaches at Spa Catholic in the mid-80s. I still remember his laugh and how he instilled his love of the game and the value of hard work in me as a young man. I'm sure many other former players share this sentiment. He will be missed. My prayers are with his family.

I will never forget my first day of high school--just moving to Saratoga from sunny California I met two marvelous guys at the bus stop--Landon Moore and Bruce Jones. There friendship at that time was a "divine intervention"--as the move was less than willing. For the rest of my high school career--many laughs were had by all...such an amazing person, a quick smile, a heartfelt hello--my only regret is that I only had a short visit with him at our 40th reunion--as the proud dad was coming back from his son's game. As one of my teachers from the east would say--it is always hardest on those left behind...my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. It is just a reminder that you can never say "I love you" enough to those near and dear. God Bless..

Amy, Phoebe and Lanny. I am so sorry for your loss. I loved your dad dearly and always looked forward to hanging with him when I could. His laugh was infectious and full of joy and love of life. He was/is a very GOOD man who's friendship I valued greatly. Both Nancy and I were greatly saddened at his passing. But he will always be with you, to watch over you. He will be missed. But he does STILL owe me a pizza. God Bless and keep you all. Mark& Nancy Kingsbury, NY

How my heart broke when I received the horribly sad news of Landon's passing! To Deb & Eskey - you know your big bro charmed St. Peter and passed through the pearly gates as if on skates, and is lighting up the big room with his infectious laugh & smile as only he can! I know that when you feel down you will be blessed by his eternal sunshine as he will be sure to light up your day! To Amy & Lil' Landon & Phoebe - though I've never had the pleasure to spend any time with you, I can only imagine the sadness in your hearts created by the untimely passing of your precious Husband & Father! I trust & pray that in time the tremendous pain you feel will be replaced by cherished memories of special times shared with him. I will never forget that Landon is the only person in the whole, wide world who would always call me by my real name "Louisa" instead of Weez or Weezie, and not only be able to get away with it, but make me laugh by doing so! I will forever hold on to memories at the East Side Rec and at Brown's Beach and by being teased insufferably, but also with a twinkle in his eyes, as a lowly Frosh in the hallways @ SHS his Senior Year! I know you have the Angels in stitches, and I know they are already thrilled to call you one of their own!Always & Forever, my friend! xoxo

Mr. Moore was the best substitute teacher ever at Saratoga Central Catholic. He was always in such a good mood and could make you laugh. It was such a shock to everybody today at school when we heard the news. I would like to wish the best for all his family and may would know that Landon will be truly missed by everyone at SCC.

Mr. Moore was the best substitute teacher ever. He always had fun stories to tell and he and I would sit and talk during a study hall. We always had nice conversations and we never ran out of stories to tell each other. He will be missed very much by the students and staff of SCC. I wish to send my condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Moore

My heart goes out to Amy, Phoebs and Lannie Pie. What a great loss for them and the rest of Saratoga. I am so glad we got to see Landon at the Country Corner Cafe on Victorian Streetwalk night. He was such a nice guy, so sweet and loving. There is a new light in heaven. I'm sure he will always live on overlooking his family.
